           Summary: Autoyast X11 choices on default depth can lead to
                    installations without X
           Product: openSUSE 11.0

With OpenSuSE 11.0 you are able to select '32' as the default depth with the
X11 profile. However, most graphics drivers (in this case a I830 running with
the xf86-video-intel driver) do not allow for anything above 24bit colors as
their default depth.

I suggest you either remove the 32bit option (there really isn't any visible
difference between 24 and 32bit) or implement some incredibly smart voodoo to
detect whether or not a certain graphics driver actually supports the default
depth commanded to use by the autoyast profile.

  <x11>
    32
    kdm
    false
    false
    <resolution>1024x768 (XGA)</resolution>
    kde

  </x11>

Thats the profile part in question.
