           Summary: blank screen on live-CD ...

          Platform: Other

I boot the live CD (openSUSE-11.1-Beta3-Build0075-GNOME-LiveCD-i386.iso) on my
Dell system, and although in Beta2 this worked -perfectly- [ I got a working
compiz, with cube, etc. etc. ], it is now broken :-)

Now, instead I get a black screen, with no contents [ except a mouse cursor
which changes as I move it across the screen as if the content was underneath
].

By running metacity --replace (with some more tweaks) on the console I manage
to recover the system, and all works well; but clearly the regression is less
than ideal. This of course persists to the live installed system, which is also
not so good.

It's not that clear to me what changed here really; though I guess the X server
config appears to have changed thus:

 Section "ServerFlags"
-  Option       "AIGLX" "on"
   Option       "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on"
   Option       "ZapWarning" "on"
 EndSection
..
 Section "Extensions"
-  Option       "Composite" "on"
 EndSection

from broken to working; which is interesting. I have an Intel 82865G card;
hwinfo attached.
