If you can't see a tty, then you can't use X (from what I have seen).
So the first problem is make sure you can see the tty. It may work
using the video line suggested in the SUSE page above.
Ok.. I got it to boot into linux just fine and it looks great using suse's sugestion. Now the roadblock is starting X. I made the changes... and still no go.. the display turns off and I have to switch to another tty and back to the orrig tty and control-c and it quits. The errors are included at the end...
thanks for the help
