I can login as root and then run startx, and the graphical system with KDE then starts and runs without any problem, but for normal users I have not been able to start a graphical session. As a side note, I discovered that a boot in Beta1 would hang with the graphical splash screen enabled, no boot splash screen in grub started the system OK, in combination of nomodeset Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.

What if you run "rcxdm start" instead? What happens? Any error message? -- 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 initially thought i had the same issue but while trying to reproduce it i found that X _does_ start, but only 30 seconds after the login prompt appeared which is quite a bad user experience.
David, is that the same for you or is it a different issue?
I'll attach my dmesg output below, maybe it helps.
I noticed it takes rather long before the graphical login starts, the first times I thought it didn't start, then I discovered this, so I wait a while. But it's not 30 seconds, a lot less. -- 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.

O, I now see what I wrote. When it worked, before, I didn't have to wait that long, now I wait and nothing happens. I will try and send a dmesg output.
On my own laptop with intel graphics, after a fresh install, I cannot get x to start either. Whatever I try, nomodeset, intellegacy, nothing. Well, actually, it does start, but when I wait a while before entering password, it leaves the graphical shell and returns to console with a no responding system. Or when I login quicker, it starts the KDE session but just at the moment I see my desktop the same thing happens. Shall I create a different bug report for this?
Did another test since I have a problem with the encrypted /tmp on the intel laptop, seems that was the cause, because now it starts without a problem. /tmp failed to mount, and obviously without tmp x cannot start. -- 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.
