[opensuse] No windows at or after login - Only text display after 10.3 clean install
After installing 10.3, a clean install, I have no windows display anymore. All I have is a text display. I try to run Sax2, including sax2 -r, sax2 -r -m 0=nv, and Yast2 to correct the problem but they all die before getting to any graphic display. I have tried installing both the 64bit and the 32bit version of 10.3 with no luck. I had a GUI when installing SuSE 10.3 but not after it finished. I am a bit of a noob to Linux, used it off and on for a while now. I tried what I found in other emails on this list and I still have only text after booting. My system is an Intel Core2 duo, Fatal1ty MB, with 2Gigs memory, Nvidia 8600GT 256Meg video. TIA - Any Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try setting the video driver in xorg.conf to vesa. You can edit xorg.conf with this command (if you have nano installed otherwise you need to use vi): nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf On Mon, 2007-10-08 at 14:31 -0400, James Ruhsam wrote:

Try setting the video driver in xorg.conf to vesa. You can edit xorg.conf with this command (if you have nano installed otherwise you need to use vi):
nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In cases like this where GUI was present during install it is also possible to get GUI using installation xorg.conf. Login as root and simply copy: cp /etc/X11/xorg /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

correct line should be: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Well I have a working display now but every time I login now I am asked to manually set my monitor information. Started new email about this issue and no 3D called "Have video, finally, but no 3D for my Nvidia 8600GT" Thanks for the assistance in getting working windows up.
