           Summary: xdm and kdm quit resulting fallback to console login
                    because of randr error
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: geroxp@xxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx
          Found By: ---


The execution of 

xrandr --newmode $line

in

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup

causes xdm / kdm to quit because randr reports wrong mode. The mode comes from
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and is the default mode given in the comment of
that file.

The error occured after a security update of the system. Something must have
gone wrong with that update. However, the startup scripts should handle such
errors and give at least a meaningfull error message in /var/log/messages or
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.
