ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 for OPENSUSE 11.4
Hi, newbie to OpenSuse and Linux in general. Just installed OpenSuse 11.4successfully on my machine (E-machines T6212). Previously attempted to install Ubuntu 11.4 on it as well. Both OS have resulted in my computer screen turning white with blue lines and the entire system freezing; unresponsive to keystrokes and even keyboard CAPS/NUM lights don't respond. Only way I can get system to come back is to physcially unplug it, not even power it off with Power button.
I believe there is something with my graphics card that may be the culprit;
ATI Radeon™ Xpress 200M - ATI Radeon™ Xpress 200M Specifications
Because for both OpenSuse and Ubuntu this problem came up.
However with OpenSuse I am able to get to the Terminal Screen via :
1- On startup typing '3' into the screen and getting into 'grub' I think it is called.
I am not able to GUI.
I have tried to set the card to "radeon" in the xorg.conf file but the problem persists.
Any other steps I should take?
