It was indeed the video card which did not support the resolution 'vga=348' which, incidentally, was the hex number which openSUSE came up with when I installed 12.1 and it is for 1400x1050 for the card I had previously used.
I had searched the 'net for a solution to my problem but what I did read was more confusing than informative. I have now bookmarked the wiki.archlinux URL for future reference. It is a pity that oS doesn't have a similar site or one such as Launchpad for Ubuntu.
It's the result of a sucking lame community. Don't be scared if you look next time into a mirror. ;) The more polite version of the above sentence would have been: create the missing page.
