Lol, that is impossible. X resides on tty 7 (ctrl+alt+F7) you can always access the command line from tty1 to tty6 (ctrl+alt+F1 to F6).

Re: [opensuse] No GUI 10.3 new install
Unless you're an expert in X, don't try these suggestions. I was trying various solutions as suggested on this list and I managed to screw up X so bad that I couldn't even use the command line. I had to manually power down and do a fresh install, after which I still had the problem. Just a word of caution from someone who's "been there".

I also have a mouse/keyboard wireless Logitech, as you connected to PS2, and after installation no GUI. sax2 show me a message "no pointer device" (or something like) and then abort when running it in text mode. Then I connect another mouse, a Logitech USB and run sax2, and config the video. Finnaly, remove the USB mouse and all work normally. What is happen I don't know.

You can edit >>> xorg.conf with this command (if you have nano installed otherwise > you >>> need to use vi): >>> >>> nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf Since you sent this directly to both me and the list, I guess you are offering a suggestion to fix the issue I was describing. In which case I thank you, but the issue was thrashed out on this and other lists a long time ago and having tried the above, plus dozens of other very good recommendations the "problem" was never able to be resolved. Ultimately it was not a major problem, since, with the illogical work around, the only "issue" was that the user saw the boot message text instead of a "pretty" graphic until X finally kicked in. All of this is now totally academic, because the box in question has long since gone to recycling or landfill.

I found the work-around was to enter "vga" (without quotes and no = equals sign) in the grub boot options. At runlevel 5 I get a graphical log-in screen and from there on X works perfectly.
