If it would not work in Failsafe mode, I would say, that I had a driver problem or something like that. But it must be something else causing the problem. What could that be?
Perhaps you want to play around a bit with the options that are used during failsafe login. E.g. select failsafe, press F2, and delete all options (which only leaves framebuffer mode disabled, so you won't get the splash screen).
I did that. Even with all options deleted during failsafe mode, I could start sax or X-Windows without any problems. However, in normal mode, the problem persists.
Ok, the short term solution is to change all 'vga=XYZ' to 'vga=normal'
in /boot/grub/menu.lst. That will disable the framebuffer console on the
next reboot.
For the long term solution, please open a bug report on
http://www.opensuse.org/ and assign it directly to me
(mhopf@novell.com). I don't think we will commit much time into this (as
there is an easy workaround), but I would like to track the information
and whether the problem is solved in later SUSE Linux releases. Please
attach all information that is noted on http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:X
I will add the workaround myself.
Thanks
Matthias
