Thankyou, I have installed the 6106 update (via YOU) and ?normal? function has returned. I do *not* understand what changed, thou. I had used the 5336 set since January w/o a problem ???
Downside, 9.0 has performed so well and the derogatory comments flying wrt 9.1, I will probably postpone even further the 9.1 install >:^(
Update: forced to reboot to regain hotplug after better-half pulled camera memory chip from reader. Situation is the same as before. Boot reaches level 5 and NVidia splash shows, turns to gray screen with 'X' cursor which is movable, but does not start kde or kde does not visualize on the screen. /var/log/boot.msg: (note: one real long line included) Starting CRON daemondone <notice>exit status of (nscd hwscan cron) is (0 0 0) <notice>start services (xdm splash_late) Starting service kdm<notice>startproc: execve (/opt/kde3/bin/kdm) [/opt/kde3/bin/kdm ], [ LC_MONETARY= CONSOLE=/dev/console TERM=linux SHELL=/bin/sh LC_NUMERIC= QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 LC_ALL=http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ progress=50 INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.82 KDEROOTHOME=/root/.kdm REDIRECT=/dev/tty1 COLUMNS=148 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin LC_MESSAGES=vga=0x31A RUNLEVEL=5 LC_COLLATE= PWD=/ LANG=en_US PREVLEVEL=N LINES=51 HOME=/ SHLVL=2 XCURSOR_THEME=blueprint-cursor-theme no_proxy=localhost WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde LC_CTYPE=en_US splash=silent sscripts=51 LC_TIME= _=/sbin/startproc DAEMON=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm ] done <notice>exit status of (xdm splash_late) is (0 0) Master Resource Control: runlevel 5 has been reached Skipped services in runlevel 5: smbfs acpid <notice>killproc: kill(688,3) after issuing init 3, startx will start kde, but init 5 returns the same result.
