if /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install exists ; then X is started with the settings from installation (usually fbdev driver) else X is not started at all
Ah, then we have already found the reason: I did some cleanup in /etc/X11/ (I have always several config files around because of the dualhead setup I'm using) and also moved away xorg.conf.install. Therefore it's not surprising that X doesn't start in failsave mode ;-) I'd like to propose a small patch to /etc/init.d/xdm: --- /etc/init.d/xdm.orig 2008-05-25 12:01:31.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/xdm 2008-05-25 12:02:13.000000000 +0200 @@ -166,6 +166,7 @@ case "$1" in if [ -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install ]; then export XORGCONFIG=xorg.conf.install else + echo "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.install does not exist!" >&2 rc_status -u rc_exit fi Simply print an error message _why_ it fails ;-)
This means that it is a logfile from some SaX2 installation and not from failsafe boot at all. Please attach the correct logfile.
Oops, sorry. However I think attaching the logfile is obsolete now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
