Re: Failed to Start X Server

Hi,

I just installed openSUSE 10.2 and installed all the updates. That part
went smoothly. I tried to change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.
After rebooting, I am no long able to access the desktop.

The error I get is:

Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely
that
it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to
diagnose the problem?

<Yes> <No>

I choose Yes and these are the errors I got:

(EE) I810(0): Monitor 2 cannot be specified on a single pipe devices

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
No screens found.


I have an Intel 845G chip based video card.

How can I fix this issue. Please keep in mind I am new to Linux. I am
moving from Windows XP.

Thanks.

1. At the first screen choose 'SafeSettings' to log in under vga mode
2. run yast -> Hardware -> Graphics Card and Monitor
3. Choose settings that work !! Save and reboot



Or at first login screen in the options window type init 3 to log in at
runlevel 3. You'll get a text prompt. Login as root (type su). Give the
root password. Now type yast to get yast running and do as above to
set your video mode correctly. Then reboot.
