I just installed 10.1 on my Sentia and I am having an issue. The version I installed came with a linux magazine and the DVD had a liveCD as well as the installation. I played around with the liveCD and it worked fine so I decided to install. After everything proceeded (seemingly) smoothly, I went to start everything up and there were graphical issues. First the graphical login was entirely black except for the fields for username and password and the button with my one existing user. After logging in it appears to be loading ok though the bouncing "loading" ball was leaving previous frames on the desktop so the screen wasn't refreshing the image. Then everything loads up and a couple windows pop up. My mouse is nowhere to be seen, though it is somewhere because I can move it down to the taskbar and things highlight. The graphics are jumbled and most windows don't show up properly. I see a window mentioning the monitor didn't report x and y, but I can't do much with anything because every window looks hlaf rendered. Any ideas?

boot into init 3 login as root, run sax2, configure until happy type init 5

sorry for the crazy delay.

is there a non-graphical version of sax2? Since my graphics are extremely hard to see, it makes even navigating through sax2 virtually impossible. Thanks.

I tried reinstalling today and at the last stage (hardware config) I tried to adjust some graphics settings. It opened X with a dialog to change the vertical and horizontal position and the graphics were still not showing up properly. I tried to cancel which resulted in a lockup of the system. Any ideas?

boot up your system.. wait until X system fails. press "cntrl+alt+F1"... log in as root. Type "init 3" wait 5 sec. hit "enter" then type "yast"... wait till it loads. go to hardware->graphics cards and monitor-> reset it up... disable 3d accell if needed. then exit yast... type "init 5"

I tried this and when I hit enter to select "graphics cards and monitors" it tried to startx X to use sax2 to do the configuring. Since anything in X is pretty much unusable for me, this doesn't help much. Did I do something wrong in using YaST or is there another way I can reconfigure this?
