Hopefully someone can help. I am running openSuse 10.3 with a nvidia GeForce 8600 GT video card. I installed the Nvida drivers through the yast package manager and everything worked out fine, 3d graphics, resolution settings, etc. When I re-booted I got an error stating that my X server could not start. I can’t get into the GUI and I can't figure out how to get things up and running again. On startup it does "sax2" to reconfigure the xserver, but after two attempts it states that it could not reconfigure.
I would also like to note that I have only been running Linux for a couple of weeks and an very green in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you get to a console? Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 after your machine is done booting. Login as root from the console. Then type: sax2 -m 0=fbdev That (in theory anyway) should load sax2 in framebuffer mode (generic 2D mode for general/backward compatibility). Once you are done with sax2, reboot (use the reboot command). That won't fix your nvidia issue (I don't have much experience in that area) but at least you'll be able to launch X again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
