I still need to use nomodeset, or my screen just blanks-out shortly after the splash appears -- maybe irrelevant, but very annoying none-the-less... After the services begin to start, I get the screen-blinking behavior and errors on the console about gdm not being able to start X. Looking at the X logs reveals that the nouveau driver gets loaded, but DRI complains about not being able to access the device and X fails saying it cannot find a screen.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to start Live CD 2. 3. Actual Results: X fails to start and you're dropped on the console Expected Results: X should start, leading the user to the live environment. -- 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.
