I did a few tests. First, I grabbed an strace of X starting. This is one of the most important bits: 13:21:04.068869 munmap(0x7fe4a5bb8000, 4096) = 0 <0.000012> 13:21:04.068906 stat("/dev/nvidia0", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(195, 0), ... }) = 0 <0.000011> 13:21:04.068961 open("/dev/nvidia0", O_RDWR) = 10 <30.738143> 13:21:34.807159 ioctl(9, 0xc040464d, 0x7fffadbbc5c0) = 0 <0.000023> 13:21:34.807228 open("/proc/interrupts", O_RDONLY) = 11 <0.000028> There is a 30 second day opening /dev/nvidia0. Then, if this happens, kdm times out (gdm does not, I just tried and found out): kdm[3438]: X server startup timeout, terminating kdm[3438]: X server termination timeout, killing kdm[3438]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled kdm[4968]: X server startup timeout, terminating kdm[4968]: X server termination timeout, killing and so on. If I check /var/log/kdm.log, this is what I see: X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux worklaptop 2.6.27.7-9-default #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 x86_64 Build Date: 03 December 2008 02:40:38PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Pending issues: 1. the weird interaction with interactive boot scripts 2. the *slow* restart of X. In the meantime, I have X up and running so I can (try) to get some work done. Thanks again for your help, hopefully we can get the rest of these issues resolved. I hope to get the nv driver working someday, it's not worked since 10.3 for me. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
