i love both ubuntu and openSUSE, So i tried to install them in one machine. in first attempt
i first installed openSUSE 12.2 and then installed ubuntu 12.04 alongside it in another partition. after this, i lose openSUSE boot splash.
i thought it is because ubuntu 12.04 uses grub 1.99 and openSUSE 12.2 uses grub 2 so in second attempt i installed again both of them. this time i first installed ubuntu (because it uses grub 1.99) and then installed opensuse. every thing is ok about grub and boot splash for both distros BUT:
ubuntu is ok but when i want to boot openSUSE its splash is ok but when it comes to login screen, page graphic completely become corrupted. in this corrupted page i can see some colors that are similar to ubuntu theme (also if i restart my laptop from ubuntu to boot openSUSE, sometimes it shows last opened page in ubuntu but with corrupted graphic!!!). i think opensuse combine or admix some files from ubuntu partition that cause this problem. i also take a film with my phone about this problem that is followed.
please help me about this strange problem.

I can boot into recovery mode opensuse and not corrupt the graphic display. But do not know why this problem occurs

it seems there is not any solution for this problem. however i uninstalled openSUSE and i have only ubuntu in my laptop now.

AFAIK both distros use Grub2 despite the version number. I don't think the problem you are have has anything to do with grub.

Please check the OpenSuse issue on its forums, you might find a solution there. The problem with Opensuse looks like some issue with KDM... so explore issues with KDM.

Good Luck.
