Summary: X server fails to start
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Final
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: X.Org
AssignedTo: sndirsch@xxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: harbrink@xxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: sndirsch@xxxxxxxxxx


Every once and then the X server fails at boot, about 30% of all boots.
I use the default X.org server. Output of Xorg -version:

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

X Window System Version 7.1.99.902 (7.2.0 RC 2)
Release Date: 13 November 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.99.902
Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX
Current Operating System: Linux dhcppc0 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27
11:46:27 UTC 2006 x86_64
Build Date: 09 January 2007
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present

I use the NVidia driver from NVidia, version 1.0-9746. I have set the options:
nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals

When the X server fails to start, the last line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" recount is 2, should be 1;
fixing.
This line is not present, if the X server started.

However, if the X server failed, init 3 and init 5 again always brings up the
server.
