...AFAIR, Felix is using a grub1 setup and starts the Xserver using 'startx' (probably as a regular user) with some scripts on top.
Your memory is correct, though using startx only applies on my test installations, of which host a-865 is one, and runs no extra scripts at startx time.
Felix: Does it work when you do the same as 'root'?
Of late I've only ever logged in on a-865 as root. That host is only used to see what works or not, mostly only inside the router except for zypper updating. (In reply to Stefan Dirsch from comment #1)
Isn't the issue here, that Xorg is no longer run with root privileges? I'm afraid vga boot param is no longer been used since every driver switched to KMS.
Matrox doesn't respond to video= on cmdline, so vga= is how I was getting the vttys to use a satisfactory mode - until this regression. Even on Intel, AMD and NVidia hardware, vga= still does what it always did pre-KMS for the initial stages of init. KMS only kicks in the video= parameter later in init. I don't use Plymouth on anything unless forced (e.g. Mageia). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
