SUSE 9.0 Intel Extreme Graphics Hi, I have a eMachine 420 with an onboard Intel Extreme Graphics controller and am having problems with SUSE 9.0 not displaying the boot splash. X works fine with full 3d acceleration, but the only thing that gets displayed when the system boots is text with the graphical penguin. I know X is configured differently from grub.
From console mode I have typed hwinfo --framebuffer but it does not list any modes which I could use to modify vga=XXX in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Interestingly enough the initial grub screen (before the boot) where you could press F2 to manually set verbose, native or silent appears correctly. What mode does this use? I have played around manually by 'guessing' modes and modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst but can only get different character sizes. If anyone knows the supported modes or how to get the splash working with the Extreme Graphics controller I would be grateful. thankyou Cole ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/

Make sure you set your video ram in your bios to at least 8mb . Also try running "mkinitrd" as root . The bootsplash in 9.0 was non functional on my box (same gfx) until I ran mkinitrd . Kimble
