Description Scott Couston 2008-07-09 23:57:23 UTC

The installation of KDE4 AND KDE3 in V11.0 failed completely due unable to detect monitor and start X-windows session.

Error response on Manual Configuration of End Stage Hardware Installation  - 'Monitor is not reporting X - Y Axis'.

Error message on restart with 'failsafe' - 
........ manually configure Display Y/N
user input Y > 
"root password requested"
given
nil response.
Manually enter Yast>Hardware>Graphics Card - NO response, NO flicker, Nothing!!

Monitor appeared to be configured as 800/400 - Graphics unacceptable in safe mode and GUI completely unstable.

This was NOT an issue in 10.3 KDE3 ?
Formatting reverting to 10.3 but /var/log directory and files saved and is available for ANY logs you specifically will require - Please advise specific log files as some very large even after compression.

Only /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old might be interesting here.
Please _attach_ them seperately in plain/text format.

Both logfiles are for a fbdev configuration. The second one is likely for a failsafe boot (acpi=off), so you see all these ACPI warnings. There's nothing special in there.

Graphics hardware is:

 1) NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405 (10de:03d1)
 2) ATI Radeon VE (1002:5159)

So you likely run into the SaX2 Dualcard configuration issue (fixed for openSUSE 11.1), which can be workarounded by runnings 'sax2 -r -c 0' or 'sax2 -r -c 1' (depends on which one is the primary VGA card) after installation. Since you gave up before we could investigate this issue, I need to assume this is a duplicate.
