For my hardware it seems to be broken because I can't login into KDE4. It simply comes back to login screen short after it tries to start KDE4. I previously reported this problem as comment #8 in bug 450893 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450893#c7) but at that time I didn't know what is the cause. I still could log into KDE3 but in KDE3 I noticed that sysinfo:/ didn't work. Of course, sysinfo displays some information about graphic card so I came to idea that this might be different aspect of the same issue. After installing nvidia proprietary driver all problems have disappeared. I rate this as critical bug because default setup (if KDE3 is not installed) simply does not work and user have hard times to figure out how to fix it. Here is info about my hardware: grek-laptop:~ # hwinfo --gfxcard 26: PCI 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_427 Unique ID: VCu0.fn56P0wnBA1 Parent ID: vSkL.vB63rdHOxV8 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "nVidia GeForce 8400M GS" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x0427 "GeForce 8400M GS" SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" SubDevice: pci 0x30cc Revision: 0xa1 Driver: "nvidia" Driver Modules: "nvidia" Memory Range: 0xce000000-0xceffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff (rw,prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xcc000000-0xcdffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) I/O Ports: 0x2000-0x2fff (rw) IRQ: 16 (1297 events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v000010DEd00000427sv0000103Csd000030CCbc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia Driver Info #1: XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia 3D Support: yes Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #9 (PCI bridge) -- 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.

Unfortunately, it looks like I cannot reproduce that problem any more. I've tried switching to nv by editing xorg.conf and logging into KDE4 again. It logged in without any problems and sysinfo:/ works as well. I have no idea what have fixed this issue since I haven't done anything apart from installing nvidia driver. Could it be that nvidia-settings changed my xorg.conf in a way that fixed nv driver as well? If you can suggest me anything I'm ready to try but if there is no suggestion then I guess we will have to close this bug report. :-( Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion. -- 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 have a backup of all Xorg logs but after a quick check it looks like Xorg.1.log.old is the one containing relevant entries. I'll attach it. I realized that my bug report is little bit misleading because it's vesa and not nv driver used by default. There is one more thing, right after I removed nvidia driver I tried to run sax2 -r as suggested but it froze my machine completely. I attach sax2.log that contains some information about sax2 crash. -- 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.

Ok, I'll attach Xorg.0.log.old but I'm quite sure it does not contain anything special.

I've used a config that sax2 -r generated for me. After sax2 crash I rebooted my machine, called init 3 and then sax2 -r.

This was the previous configuration (you've updated from an older openSUSE release?). When uninstalling the NVIDIA driver it gets reenabled.

Stefan, I followed what you suggested and reproduced the problem which looks rather serious to me (if it's not specific to my hardware). I've made a copy of all logs *before* reinstalling nvidia driver just to make sure that I don't give you false data. There is my fault that I forgot to back up all xorg.conf files at the same time but simply closing this bug is not the best way to deal with this situation. The computer I'm using at the moment is the only I can access to and I wasn't sure if you respond to my report within just a few minutes of few days. I want to help you to fix a bug but at the same time I need a working machine. Tell me exactly what you want from me, I mean: do you want me to uninstall nvidia driver *and* wait until you say you don't need anything else from me? -- 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.

Uninstall the NVIDIA driver. 2. Reboot into runlevel 3 3. Running 'sax2 -r' should result in a nv driver configuration 4. rcxdm start 5. login --> immeadiate logout In case you can reproduce this issue, please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old. If you can't the reason can be that it did only happen with vesa driver (it seems you've updated from an openSUSE release, where we still used vesa driver for this hardware), but since vesa driver is no longer used for this hardware this has become a non-issue. -- 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.

Created an attachment (id=263074) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=263074) [details] SaX.log - failed to test nv configuration

I attach sax log again because this time sax2 failed to let me test my configuration. After changing resolution to my native (1280x800) it asked me if I want to test it or save, I chose to test it. Sax tried to initialize graphic card in new mode but failed to display anything and returned back after about one second.

I don't know if it's relevant but I think it's better to inform you about this issue.

Thanks.

I have a laptop with GeForce card (as "M" in name suggests) so there is different connector. Anyway, this does not help us that much. I'll attach my Xorg.0.log.kde3 so maybe you can see something there. I've checked both files for differences and apart from the fact that Xorg.0.log.old is truncated there are only two differences at lines 315 and 319. These are different addresses for some registers: (II) NV(0): MMIO registers mapped at 0xb69cf000 #Xorg.0.log (II) NV(0): MMIO registers mapped at 0xb68ad000 #Xorg.0.log.old (II) NV(0): Linear framebuffer mapped at 0xaeacf000 #Xorg.0.log (II) NV(0): Linear framebuffer mapped at 0xae9ad000 #Xorg.0.log.old I don't know if these addresses are deterministic and should be always the same, though. I think we shouldn't ignore the fact that sysinfo:/ does not work with nv driver. Could it be another aspect of the same issue or just something unimplemented in nv driver that makes sysinfo:/ to fail? -- 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.

Hmm. This error message doesn't look driver specific at all, but I'm not a KDE developer.

There is information related to graphic card displayed at sysinfo:/ page. For example, there is a name of the card and information if 3d acceleration is enabled. I don't know how this information is collected either but I'm sure that this is broken with nv driver and working with nvidia driver. (In reply to comment #38 from Stefan Dirsch)

Tried this long time ago when I faced this problem for a first time. The answer is that this problem is not user specific. Just to make sure that nothing has changed I've checked it with fresh user a moment ago.

Maybe the best to figure out what's happening during KDE4 start is to run it manually.

1. Start Xserver:

X :1 & sleep 3; DISPLAY=:1 xterm

2. run /usr/bin/startkde in this xterminal

What's happening? Is KDE4 session started?

The observed symptoms are the same and of course KDE4 is not running. I've decided to run it second time in following way: (X :1 & sleep 3; DISPLAY=:1 xterm) &> X.log /usr/bin/startkde &> startkde.log in order to collect some logs.
