Hello
I have installed the Suse 11.1 DVD iso 32 bit system.
On performing a subsequent boot from power up , the message " Graphical initialisation failed", appears on the console- then proceeds to a command line boot up. At the end of the boot sequence, I have to perform a line based login/password and then issue "startx". After that, it performs perfectly.
There is no way to shutdown without going back to the command line, loging in as root and issuing a "halt"
Please how can I rectify the login and shutdown problem
If "Graphical initialisation failed", there might be some error or warning in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". Usually, "gdm" or "kdm" will try to start X a few times, and give up if it runs into an error, forcing you back to a console login. Did you see the screen flash a couple of times? Another thing you can try is logging in as "root" and typing "sax2" at the command prompt. This will attempt to regenerate your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" configuration file. -- M.
