The failsafe X.Org configuration /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install no longer exists. Either move it back (if still available) or copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to use the native graphics driver instead of the failsafe graphics driver. Of course the latter option no longer can be called failsafe.

For sure I didn't delete it manually. Its fresh install from KDE Live CD with updates (installation of remaining packages as suggested by Yast) via network. In the Yast's runlevel editor I disabled virtualbox and vmware tools.

Ok. I guess when doing a LiveCD installation there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install created on the installed system since already the Live system runs without any xorg.conf in place. Its different with a real installation. There we have a fbdev driver based configuration with xorg.conf in place which is copied to /etc/11/xorg.conf.install during installation as fallback and for the failsafe mode. -- 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.

And that's just because of the installation medium?

That's my understanding, yes.

No matter whether doing installation from boot prompt or from running live system.

?

I suppose failsafe was working in one of the previous milestones/RCs.

Is that a claim or a question? I doubt that this ever worked with a LiveCD installation.

Is /etc/11/xorg.conf.install part of a rpm package which could be installed?

No, it's generated on the fly during a regular installation. -- 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.

I mean even if LiveCD I have the choice between starting the installation from the grub boot prompt as well as from the running desktop.

Ok. Understood. I didn't know that a LiveCD installation is also possible from the grub boot prompt.

...

It's a strong guess. I'm sure I booted failsafe in the last couple of weeks, but can't remember what version it was, it could be even 11.3. However, I always used KDE CDs the last years for installation.

Ok. Maybe the LiveCD installation did change since openSUSE 11.3. -- 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.

Well, what possibilities exist of getting this failsafe configuration back?

I suggest to open a seperate bugreport filed against YaST component to request this file back. -- 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.

Is the x-server allowed to use dri with nomodeset?

Well, for some reason radeon UMS behaves here differently than radeon KMS. A workaround would be to disable DRI completely in X by adding Section "Module" Disable "dri" Disable "dri2" EndSection to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf. Of course then everything falls back to software rendering, but that's still better than a crashing Xserver already during startup. -- 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.
