How does Xorg.0.log look like without it (attach it)? Does it help? If it doesn't, please move xorg.conf back and add Option "ModeDebug" "on" to 'Section "Device"' of this file. Then run X with X -retro -verbose 7 -logverbose 7 wait about half a minute and then kill the Xserver with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

So I switched to VT1 and killed X with Ctrl-C. Other observations: 1) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace produced a beep from the built-in speaker that lasted about a second. 2) After running X once this way and killing it, I cannot run it again. If I try, I get a black screen and X will not die except with SIGKILL (from an ssh session). 3) After I kill it with SIGKILL, I still can't switch to VT1. 4) Rebooting (init 6) does not work. The only solution is to cut power. 5) The kernel modules intel_agp and i915 are both loaded.

Result: saw the classic stipple and cursor at the correct resolution,

Sounds good!

1) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace produced a beep from the built-in speaker that lasted about a second.

You need to press this key combination again right after to kill the Xserver. We introduced this with 11.1. Or was it already with 11.0. I don't know. Because we had customers, who were pressing this key combination by accident. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I believe this is what is happening during a regular system start. Thus I would be interested into the logfile for the second Xserver run. I couldn't find anything obvious in the logfile you've attached. Thus I believe this was for the first Xserver run, which worked fine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Found a better workaround -- use KDE instead of Gnome! It appears that Gnome restarts X during login (as control passes from the login screen to Gnome itself). KDE does not do this, so the bug described in this report does not get triggered. I can still always reproduce this problem by stopping and starting X multiple times in quick succession, but by using KDE, it doesn't really matter. Still, I hope the i915 driver (or whatever the problem is) gets fixed sometime. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
