About your past questions;
- ram modules work alone. I tried each one independently and worked fine.
- yes, machine still starts with two old memories.
nomodeset is only on failsafe grub option. It's a ATI radeon 2400HD.
Boot to the openSUSE grub menu and add on the kernel line
splash=verbose noresume nomodeset 3
then press enter, which will boot without starting X. If you get a shell prompt instead of boot failure or death screen:
1-login as root 2-mc 3-navigate to /var/log 4-inspect Xorg.0.log for lines containing (WW) & (EE) and report back what they say
If you don't have mc installed, do 'zypper in mc' and try again. MC is the best friend of those with broken X (among others).
Do this with the mismatched RAM modules installed, and again with only one of the two installed after running X via startx, and compare to see if there are differences. Xorg.0.log gets written anew on each X restart, so you may want to save by some other name for comparing multiple tries. The previous one is saved as Xorg.0.log.old each time, then overwritten the next time.
Felix. First time I checked the Xorg log there was fglrx and screen errors then I uninstalled my proprietary ati drivers and the Xorg log shows now more significant errors. Here is where I found a "videoram" related problem. Check out the Xorg.0.log with free ati drivers (line #482): http://pastebin.com/2P6eR4y5 For me that means that Xorg is not able to resolve the video ram for current OS. -- Hernán Thiers García Estudiante de Ingeniería en Informática / I.T.
