It was not shipped as a maintenance update. The patch does not apply to 10.3 because the code has since been rewritten upstream.

I've ported the patch from SLE10-SP1, but I'd love a couple of test runs before I submit it.

After installation the error occurred on the 1st and 2nd boot, this time it just stays in TTY1, you need to ALT+CTL+F8 to get to see the message. Attempt 3 to 9 booted straight to GDM, attempt 10 failed again, which led me to add another 10 cycles. They all went through to GDM. The average cycle time was 2':45", 0:35" for shutting down, 2':10" for coming up. I used gdm-2.17.7-2.i586.rpm on an FSC Amilo Si1520 running openSuSE 10.3 alpha2plus. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252509 ------- Comment #23 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-08 01:35 MST ------- This is now worse, since yesterdays update ( tty1 greets me with Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (alpha4) Kernel 2.6.21-3-default ), gdm is 2.18.1-9, xorg-x11 is 7.2-68 After booting tty1 is displayed with login prompt. CTL+ALT+F7 / CTL+ALT+F8 both show blank screen. Logging in and issuing ps -A | grep gdm shows two instances each of gdm and gdmopen. issuing init 3 then init 5 doesn't change that. Killing the gdm with the lowest pid ( oldest ) makes all disappear, starting gdm afterwards results in "there appears ..." Booting afresh and killing first the gdm with the highest pid ( youngest ) then the remaining one, then running gdm will finally start the x-server. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I.e. yast2 sysconfig setting /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER to Xorg from Xgl Probably the same as disabling Desktop Effects from "Control Center/Desktop Effects" where it states: "Your graphics card is not known to be supported by Xgl. However, it does appear to support 3D acceleration. To enable Xgl, press "Enable Desktop Effects" below. This will log you out and return you to the login screen. If the login screen does not come back up, you will need to disable Xgl from the command line by logging in as root and running: gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl If you are having problems configuring Desktop Effects, you can click the "Help" button below to visit the troubleshooting page on the openSUSE wiki for advice."

(Edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager for that, also kdm has to be installed, of course). It could well be, that gdm uses a different technique for checking whether X startup is completed than the official one (waiting for SIGUSR1). In that case, Xgl probably doesn't support this technique, and this should be fixed in gdm. I know that Xgl *does* support the SIGUSR1 method. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
