I build a new machine for my MythTV backend. It's got a Radeon video card built in. I tried using that, but I was having all kinds of trouble with the graphics. So I uninstalled the radeon drivers that were installed by default and shut it down. I installed an old GeForce 7300 card and tried to reboot it to install the drivers. The problem is that when it boots, it goes to the black screen and the monitors stops seeing the computer (monitor light goes amber). So I figured I'd boot to runlevel 3. The problem is that in 13.1, or maybe with my puny monitor, I don't have an option line at the bottom the enter the runlevel. All I have is:
OpenSUSE 13.1
Advanced options for OpenSUSE.
I installed via a USB stick, but I can't use that to change the boot options. If that's in and I get to the install menu, when I try to "Boot to hard drive", the machine beeps and reloads the install menu. That's a different issue though, and I don't care about it.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my machine to boot to runlevel 3. Any suggestions?
BTW, I'm using an old flatscreen (4:3), and I think it's defaulting to 800x600. So the option line may be there, but I can't see it or navigate to it.
