Try these suggestions:
In cases like this where GUI was present during install it is alsopossible to
get GUI using installation xorg.conf. Login as root and simply copy:cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-old
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If all else fails:
youTry setting the video driver in xorg.conf to vesa. You can edit
xorg.conf with this command (if you have nano installed otherwise
need to use vi):
nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Since you sent this directly to both me and the list, I guess you are
offering a suggestion to fix the issue I was describing. In which case I
thank you, but the issue was thrashed out on this and other lists a long
time ago and having tried the above, plus dozens of other very good
recommendations the "problem" was never able to be resolved. Ultimately
it was not a major problem, since, with the illogical work around, the
only "issue" was that the user saw the boot message text instead of a
"pretty" graphic until X finally kicked in.
All of this is now totally academic, because the box in question has
long since gone to recycling or landfill.

I don't know if this is going to help, but in the past I had a box toHi All, after my second download and still the same result ie no GUI
is starting, so I'll need help with this problem. Net download from
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss working fine
both times. Yast2 working in txt mode also appears to be fine. At end
of first boot startup the display flashes 3 times with about 5 sec
interval in an attempt to start the x-server ending with a msg gui
failed to start followed by more similar msg about the x-output log
and indicate the mouse is not configured correctly and last that gdm
need to restart after correction is done. Mause+keyboard is a
wireless Logitech connected to standard ps2 input. Sax2 attempt to
start its own gui which also fails. Swop of ..config with the
..config.install produce a display with a moving pointer but other
wise not useable, as The section for the mouse is quite different.
The display and the Nvidia seems to be correctly detected. I'll try
sax2 from runlevel 3 otherwise I need some input on where to look.
anker
set up that gave me the same problem.
I found the work-around was to enter "vga" (without quotes and no =
equals sign) in the grub boot options. At runlevel 5 I get a graphical
log-in screen and from there on X works perfectly. It makes no sense to
me and I have no explanation as to why this works, but it can't do any
harm to just give it a try.
