SUSE 10.0 is hanging
 

Hi;

I have installed SUSE 10.0 linux on my pc. My System configuration is Pentium 3.6 GHz, ATI Radieon Display Card and 19" Flat Screen- Proview Monitor. Afer successfuly installing when i reboot my pc i am getting "MODE NOT SUPPORTED" resolution error message on my screen and i can't do anything.

If i try to reduce my resolution and refresh rate, it is try to loading the graphical environment and hanging. It is just show few icons on my desktop. Mouse everything disabled.

Can anyone help me?

Please look at my many post what I have done to the nearly same problem.

There are many instructions how to solve this poblem. If not try to contact me again

You are having issues with your ATI card. Either the card or the drivers. It is best to try and install the right ATI driver. Go to this link to find out how to resolve this issue: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/366586. This info is SuSE 10 and ATI x600 specific, but the procedure will work with other ATI cards.

"Mode Not Supported" means that the system is trying to get the video card to so something it can not do. SuSE has problems like this that require a reinstall of the driver. Do Not assume that because SuSE detected the right card that it installed the right drivers.

Please next time do a google search or search this forum prior to posting a new question. Chances are that someone has already asked this question before.

BTW: When you say "hanging" do you mean that the computer is non responsive or that it boots in the console? Diagnostically these are two extremely diferent symptoms that can mean two diferent problems.

Thanks

Hi All;

Thank you very much for you support. I collected all of yours idea and got it work.

atlast what i did was, i try to install ati-driver-8.xx.xx-i386.run but i didn't succeed. so i simply executed fglrxconfg it asked lots of questions as per your instruction i left as default. when i reboot my pc everything is working fine. Even i can access intrenet without any difficult.

Once again thank you very much for your help.

Cheers.
