    Smile Display Problem - System Hangs

    Hi there,

    I just tried OpenSuse 11.1 and after installing it, I tried working on it in KDE..after 10 - 15 mins of work the monitor got hanged...even keyboard. I restarted the system and now this time I logged in to Gnome, but after some time the same happened.
    Even the 3D desktop is not supported!
    My system is having 1 GB RAM and SWAP space of 2 GB.
    Resolution : 1280 X 1024
    Refresh Rate : 77 Hz
    Rotation : Normal
    When I press detect display, its not able to.

    Please suggest any method to fix it.

    Thanks

    Which Graphics Card do you have? Post the output of this
    Code:

lspci | grep -i vga

    Display Problem - System Hangs

    I am new to linux also. I have installed Opensuse 11.1 and had issues with setting up my video card.

    System Specs:
    kernel version is 2.6
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
    Video Card: Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E
    4GM Main Memory
    Monitor: SyncMaster Samsung
    Sound: 82801 JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio
    Motherboard: Asus P5Q Pro

    I followed the support page on the Opensuse support page ATI - openSUSE

    The one thing that kept happing was the screen would go blank and stall. I had to edit the xorg.conf and make changes to get it to boot. I added this to the end:

    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "True"
    EndSection

    And now I have no problem booting to KDE. Hope that helped.

    Display Problem - System Hangs

    Thanks for the quick response,
    here is my output for that commands,

    linux-7ewq:~ # lspci | grep -i vga
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
    linux-7ewq:~ # grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Driver "kbd"

    Open xorg.conf file with root privileges and replace "sis" with "vesa" in VideoCard sections. Save file and reboot machine. In case it doesn't work, post the contents of xorg.conf file here.

    Code:
    su -
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.
    Or use vi instead of nano.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Replace Driver "sis" with Driver "vesa".
