Hi everyone, for days I've been battling to make my updated system work. I'm running a laptop with an Intel Core 2 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS graphic card. It was running well with opensuse 11.2. Then I upgraded to 11.3. Ever since my system doesn't run although I tried whatever was recommended in various forums. The failsafe versions run. When booting normally I only get a black screen. I can login from another laptop on the LAN I can't start the X-server. It usually shows the message: No screen found. I installed the Nvidia driver in many ways (One-click, Yast, by hand), all without success. When (in run level 3) I try to start the X server with 'X - config /etc/X11/xorg.conf" I get a brief flash of the Nvidia logo. I figure that something is wrong with the configuration. I'm not sure what would help to understand the problem (boot.msg, messages, Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf?). So I attach an Xorg.0.log. Of course, I added 'nomodeset' to the boot parameters. Who can help me, please? Gerd -- Gerd Muncke 20 Manning Rd. Killara NSW 2071 Australia Phone: +61-2-9499 2393 Mobile: +61-424 485 907
