Yes my runlevel is at 5 and sometimes when it starts up i get to the yast (Yast @ linux-quqr or something) screen to update some catalog thing, i did it and i have no idea what it did. I tryed to use "xorgconfig" and i selected the monitor rates, card, mouse keyboard etc... and still nothing. Here are some pics that might help you.

This one is the xserver graphic error when system starts
I think this is what i get when i try startx
I think this was the proposal it had for me (might be a duplicate pic)

It looks like you do not have a xorg.conf file or it is blank

Try running this as root

sax2 -r -m 0=vesa (0 is a digit, not a letter!)

This should create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and point it to the vesa generic driver.

Ok thank you for your reply this is what i got after i did sax2
then the blue error message came up that i posted erler about the xserver graphic error, sometimes it's just a blank screen.
This is what i got after entered startx after i re-booted
I logged in as the root as you can see to execute the command, and i tryed "xorgconfig" to re-build the xorg.conf file. Sorry that this is taking so long hopefully we can get if fixed asap

P.S what drives should i download if any?
One more thing... When i went to the install from the cd and i looked at the kernal messages this cought my eye
And when i tryed to exit and re-boot it said i might need to load some drivers but idk what drivers to load
Should i unhook sli

Ok here is the thing, you seem to have an empty or corrupted /etc/X11/xorg.conf file this is what the errors are telling you. Have you looked at this file? Note you must be root to edit it.

This is a new file for the new OS I believe old file is XF86Config. I suspect you selected upgrade instead of full install. You can do a full install and save the home partition (if you have a home partition) by manually changing the partitioning scheme during the install to not reformat the home partition and simply mount it as /home

The CPU messages just indicate that you can only run on one CPU. This is normal for a ver 10.0 install since it does not automagically config for SMP you must manually install the SMP kernel. If you had chosen a newer version say 10.3 or 11.0 the kernel would autodetect the multiprocessor.

ok thank you for your reply and yes i did a "New install" when i first started the system from the cd. I will try to mount the /Home when i do the install again.
When i get that fixed how do i install the smp kernel

Via Yast-Software-Software Management. search for kernel select SMP kernel

If you did a full install already and simply took defaults the Home directory is already wiped.
