Having trouble with a monitor issue
Hello I am having a monitor issue while trying to install opensuse 11. I am running an HP Pavilion windows xp box. I am trying to also make it half and half half linux and half windows.
When I try to install from the disk I cannot see the install because my monitor says please change to 1280x1024. My windows xp is set on that. Please any help is appreciated. I would like to get started using linux. Thanks in advance. |
Hey there!
Glad you made some steps on LinuxLane :D Okay! I'd go with a text-based install. Not as nice/frilly but should work... Glance at these pages http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-a.../msg00001.html and http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc#Parameter_Reference Let us know how it turns out, will ya! :) Thor |
Wow that is a little advanced for me. should I go down to suse 10 or am I going to have the same problem.
Thanks for your time and patience. |
Hey there,
Well, it all may seem al wee complex, but when you get it broken down to byte-size chunks, it's all okay... What I guess is: you enter the CD-rom, re-power the PC and get a menu of the Linux installer. The default should be highlighted: http://linuxlog.co.cc/data/uploads/2...d-install1.png I'm not very versed with OpenSuse - I use Arch, that only installs in text mode...so I apologise if I too have to "sniff around"... See the boot options? If so, enter this Quote:
I'll look into this thread to see the progress! Luck Thor |
