Forgot to add It is Toshiba Tecra S11-15T notebook During installation still fbdev driver is active, whereas afterwards the native nouveau driver. Workaround: Use "nomodeset" boot option or switch to NVIDIA's proprietary driver. The nomodeset option works, but the resolution for the desktop is 640x480 without the option to change it. NVIDIA drivers does work at full resolution. Ok. Then please figure out which modes your VBIOS does not support via hwinfo --framebuffer and use the appropriate vga=0xXXX parameter for booting. Thanks. openSUSE 12.2 is no longer supported. Hence the issue won't be fixed for this product. In case the issue still is reproducable with a supported product (openSUSE 12.3/13.1 at the moment) or with openSUSE:Factory, please feel free to reopen. Thanks. |
Created attachment 501356 [details] log file from Xorg User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 During installation, X works fine. Even after the initial boot to finalise the installation X worked. After that I rebooted the system, and X was white with a block cursor. Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc still works, and the mouse cursor works. I am using KDE, but I think it is more an X issue, because if I start X using Xorg from the command line, it also doesn't start properly. It is not white, but black, and when I flip between virtual sessions and back to X, it is poluted with some of the boot-up text. I am using OpenSuSE 12.2 i586 on x86_64 capable hardware I will attach my Xorg log file This is the details lspci gives for my graphics card (using 12.1): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 2100M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device 0001 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at 3000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at d3080000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 <?> Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 <?> Kernel driver in use: nouveau Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.System boots into white screen every time 2. 3.
