Did you check to see if there is a way in the BIOS to disable the Radeon? Getting "dual graphics" or "hybrid graphics" going on a laptop is a common problem. I don't have any, but I see a lot of threads about getting them going. With Intel and NVidia together, this is called "Optimus". Your 6490M is a "Terascale" class Radeon, so don't let anything you might read about "Southern Islands" or "Sea Islands" waste your time. Start with a read of this driver primer (which applies to all distros, not just openSUSE), to avoid potential confusion when you see the word "driver": <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/541438-AMD-Intel-amp-NVidia-X-graphics-driver-primer>. You may wish to try a bit of what you find there. Try hitting escape as soon as the screen goes black. Do you get a stream of text messages? If yes, do you see any clues? You can make the messages more permanent by reconfiguring in /etc/default/grub's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line to exclude quiet and changing splash=silent to splash=verbose or omitting it altogether, possibly needing instead or in addition one of the following: noplymouth plymouth=0 plymouth.enable=0 Sending /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.debian.net/ or http://pastbin.com/ if it exists, or ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log if it exists, will help us help you if examining it yourself doesn't enable you to find a solution on your own. Examining output from "sudo journalctl -b" will enable searching for error messages that don't show up in Xorg.0.log. Grep for "failed" and "error" in dmesg too. I have Terascale ATI as well, HD 6450 working fine, but not in a laptop or with dual graphics. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
