Open Suse 11.4 video problem

ceantuco · 06-07-2011, 10:08 PM

Hi,

I have a Dell 2400 with integrated video card (Intel). I installed Open Suse 11.4 but after logging in the screen goes black with color lines across the screen.
Do you think my video card is not powerful enough to support open suse 11.4?
Thanks

Question for you: what do you see on your login screen? Are the graphics OK?

If the graphics are OK up to the login screen, then goes wonky after login, that suggests the problem lies elsewhere.

Try booting to runlevel 3, su to root, then run yast. Use the arrow keys to scroll down to the Hardware category and press enter. Then select the Graphics card and monitor category and press enter. Try to configure the card and driver that way. When all done, run "init 5" and see what happens.
