Hello,

I installed Suse 10.2 on an IBM Netvista (from 2003) with onBoard graphics. I 
have a 1280x1024 Monitor, but Suse only boots in text mode (it starts init 5, 
but that doesn't work then, I just get the text prompt).

Typing "init 5" does nothing (prompt appears again, it seems it is in "5" but 
shows only text-mode). "init 3" shuts down kdm services etc., then "init 5" 
says "run level 5 has been reached" - but no graphics...

Typing "startx" gives
...
(EE) No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found.
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X Server ":0.0" after 0 
requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I cannot start Sax2.
I cannot use the Monitor section of Yast (it doesn't do anything).
I cannot boot  "failsave" to graphics mode.

I tried to play around with different BIOS video settings (there's not much to 
change), but no difference so far...

I cannot iterpret what Sax.log wants to tell me - more than 1000 lines that 
are just cryptic to me... I've put the log here:

What must I do to get it running? How can I change the settings, when neither 
Sax nor Yast/Monitor nor boot option vga=normal works? Can you help me?
If you need further infos, please tell me...

thanks

Daniel
