    I've installed openSUSE 11.2 on my 1645 as a dual boot option with win7. Install went fine. GRUB boot options work fine for win7. When I boot to Linux I see the normal boot up threads but end up with a black screen. True with xWin and text based "3" option. No cursor no nothing.

    Ideas or help?

    Thanks
    Frank
