Did this card work for you before under X using the NV driver? If this is a regression to an earlier driver version it might be possible to spot. I need to see if I can find a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX where I can reproduce this problem. Until then a screenshot would be helpful. Are those bars static or are they flickering? When you start in runlvl 5 and the login manager starts and draws to the Xserver do you see changes in the screen content do the bars change as drawing takes place? -- 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.

If the text console comes back it means the Xserver has crashed. The display manager doesn't terminate it itself. I don't see any indication of a crash in comment #21.

This is a bug in kdm, [...] So it can be closed as duplicate.

This part of this report may be a duplicate. But there is as well the nv driver issue. Egbert wanted to track this issue here, see: (In reply to comment #30 from Egbert Eich)

Sorry Stefan, I give this one back to Egbert. Btw. its my machine with a Geforce 6600 where we found that the nv driver does not work.

This is a bug in kdm, which apparently restarts Xserver due to missing pam-config. There's already a bug open for this. So it can be closed as duplicate.
