           Summary: /etc/init.d/kbd: setfont breaks first Xserver start
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical

Due to kbd no longer in Required-Start of earlyxdm the

  /bin/setfont -C $tty $CONSOLE_FONT $UMAP $SMAP

line in /etc/init.d/kbd breaks the first Xserver start completely. This only
happens *if* framebuffer is disabled. According to Egbert the handling of vga
and fb consoles is quite different. The vga text console code path gets 
tested much less often.

I don't know if this issue can be fixed in setfont. Maybe it's even a kernel
problem. I suggest to add kbd again to Required-Start of earlyxdm.
