Knoppix is using different driver. > I'm guessing perhaps the new OS's don't have the specific driver for > the older card maybe? I guess that default is radeon driver, but to bring you some graphic please login again as root and run this: cd /etc/X11 you should see prompt that includes /etc/X11 cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-post cp xorg.conf.install xorg.conf Now I would switch to second terminal screen with Alt-F2 login as normal user and run: startx If it worked during install, it should work now. With working graphic is easier to troubleshoot :-) > Also, not sure if it's related, but after using the lspci command and > restarting the computer my grub menu is suddenly very wintery (snow, > tux's walking around, different color scheme) though this went away > after another reboot, I just though it was funny, but I guess it could > also be a symptom... no idea. It is free goodie from SUSE. It comes randomly, more often close to Chrismass. > Also, sorry about the html emails, I missed the "plain text" option a > couple messages back... It is not a html problem, I haven't seen that. It is top posting. We use here bottom posting which is to put answer below quotes. In the openSUSE article is explained why. The often used alternative is to answer below relevant part of quoted text, like I did above. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
