The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Problem Starting X Windows on OpenSuse 10.3

Asked by vanfleet in X-Windows Window Manager, Linux Administration, Linux Setup

Tags: Novel, OpenSuse, 10.3, Problem starting X Windows, HP, Visualize (P-class)

Hi, Im having a problem getting X-Windows to start. I installed OpenSuse 10.3 on an HP Visualize (P-Class) system. The installation went fine but when it boots up the system completely locks up when it tries to start X Windows (just before the login screen). I can boot into failsafe mode and login to a shell, and run the YAST configuration tool. From YAST I can configure the display, and X Windows starts up just fine (only when configuring the display from YAST), it configures the Display, and successfully test that display then allows me to save the changes. Even after all this if I run startx or reboot and try to login, the system completely locks up.

I looked in the messages file in /var/log/ and the only error I see says: "ERROR (run:85) Cannot access acpi/apm event file"

To see if my problem is caused by the acpi process I disabled it, but it made no difference. I also replaced the graphics card and the mouse and it still made no difference. The graphics card is an ATI Rage 128 Pro. Im not sure what else to try, someone suggested changing the graphics driver in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but I dont know what to change it to.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
