Oopsie! I can't see anything !!

My friend recently installed SuSe10.2 in his comp .. Well, it was the first time he is installing linux so he's bound to get some problems (as usual) .. I cleared him up with all the partition stuff .. The partitioning is usually the most critical part of installation and after that everything should go smooth ..

Well it didn't .. He had installed fully Suse but when he booted the comp and loaded linux, all the loading stuff is displayed and after that the screen goes blank ..

So he re-installed Linux and same thing happened again .. !!! .. Display poof .. Well there was some problem in configuration of the display device but how is it be changed without the display itself ..

Well for him the problem was in his X system .. the Graphical part of the SuSe system .. I had asked a friend of mine (who's in Novell) and this is what had to be done ..

1. First go to your non-X display ( press Alt + F1 to get the first non-X display, Alt + F2 for second session and so on .. your seventh session Alt + F7 is the graphical display )
2. Log in here in your non-X session ..
3. Go Super User (use command 'su')
4. Edit the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 (use command 'vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf')
5. Try changing settings here

My friend changed his vertical refresh rate and the X display worked !! .. You don't have to re-install Linux for a small issue .. lol .. chal enjoy linux .. !!
