Isn't it the case, though, that after setting the graphics card
and screen parameters, you can test them out: there's a
countdown dialogue which you have to press "OK" on to confirm
the settings work for you? If you don't press it then you go
back to the standard installer display settings (which must
have been working for you to get this far!) In this way you can
adjust the settings until they work, without being stranded at
a blank screen or terminal. This seems sensible, and I think
it's how I remember it working in the past.
Please stop falsifying this thread.
AFTER installation is totally different from DURING installation.
The paragraph above _is_ referring to the procedure during
installation.
OK, it also is during, but far later.
My focus is the very first "switch to graphical mode", the very first YaST
window.
Getting confronted with too high frequencies at the right
resolution during installation is a 100% show stopper if
you don't know some dirty tricks.
It would be a show-stopper if the installer didn't let you
test out the settings before proceeding. I'm _sure_ I
remember this happening during installation for me in the
past during installation:
Default settings appear -> press "test"
-> if doesn't work -> repeat until it does work.
-> carry on.
If I'm wrong about that, then apologies, but I don't think
I'm making it up.
At beginning of installation, there is no choice or test.
Just a black screen, no way around without dirty tricks.
Cheers -e
