    shell not starting up! suse 10.1

    I've been applying the following instructions
    http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/254

    I've got up to ATI drivers. when I reboot the system and select suse 10.1
    I only get the command prompt, asking me for my username and password.
    how do I get the shell back??

    and what is ATI? does it apply to all PC's who want 3d on their desktop?

    thanks
    newbie

    It only applies if your video card was manufactured by ATI

    The shell is the command prompt, not the GUI

    Just log in as root at the command line and do the following commands
    Code:
    init 3
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.broken
sax2
    Sax will then autoconfigure for your hardware. It is a gui configuration tool for your X server (graphics). It should be fine then but just watch out for going to init 3 as you may need to hit enter and log in again.

    What graphics card do you have?
