I downloaded the SUSE from this page ([http://tinyurl.com/slespi](http://tinyurl.com/slespi)), and write into the disk with command:

`
xz -cd IMAGE | dd of=/dev/SDCARDDEV bs=4096`

then insert the card into RPi, power on ,no thing happen

I don’t know if I missed anything

P.S.: the monitor is moto Lapdock

It turn out that is my monitor problem.

Lapdock think there is no input so display nothing, but when I connect to old CRT TV via RCA it display.

I guess this behaviour is caused by the SUSE used U-Boot instead of loaded the kernel directly like Raspbian.

Don’t know if there are any chance to make it display correctly on moto Lapdock.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for late reply.

with appending:

```
hdmi_safe=1

```

in `/boot/config.txt` the lapdock can boot with 640x480 , and after entering YaST the resolution is 1366x768 (which is correct)

And this also work on other distro boot in similar way, like fedora.
