I only have a gui
Hi,
I have no consoles, and no verbose mode during shutdown. clt alt f1 gives me a scrambled picture, like a really badly scrambled picture, its just blocks of color. f2, f3, f4, f5, f6 gives me just a black screen. clt alt f8&f9 just give me black screen, and the rest just give a black screen with green blocks scattered around. I can only use f7 gui and konsole which, as you can imagine, really sucks. Can anyone please help me? I have suse 9.3 w/kde and a toshiba Qosmio f10-g10 notebook. Many thanks |
it sounds liek the standard vesa framebuffer driver isn't at all happy. if you edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf (depending on which bootloader you use) and remove the reference that should be there that says "vga=789" or such like, then reboot (run "lilo" as root if you use lilo) then you'll load up without a framebuffer, so the consoles should work fine. you might also want to experiment with different values for the framebuffer resolution to see if that gets you a working framebuffer console.

Hi
Thanks acid for the reply I guess I should mention which boot loader (lilo) I use. Also this box has a nvidia GeForce gpu and has the nvidia driver installed downloaded and installed through yast. I have 3d and the whole nine so I don't think it is a vesa driver. Do you happen to know the x and y for this screen? and could I just measure it? |
