* X11 configuration during installation is totally broken in Beta5 due to a bug in package manager. Instead of the native X11 driver fbdev or even vesa driver will be configured. In order to create a valid X11 configuration stop xdm ("rcxdm stop") and use SaX2 for configuration ("sax2 -r"). ATI users should update the radeon driver first before executing SaX2. Otherwise the result will likely be a blank screen. Driver RPMs for i386/x86_64 are attached to Bug 153367.
Meanwhile I've added this information to http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs
Apparently, I managed to miss that bug due to performing an update from beta 3, rather than doing a fresh install. Running "sax2 -r" under runlevel 3 also worked. This was on an Acer Aspire 3002 notebook using an SiS 660 chip-set.
However, I did fall foul of another when the package manager decided it was going to install packages from the default selection even I told it not to bother adding them. Deselecting the games that would normally be installed during the update didn't appear to stop the package manager from installing them.
Please create a bugreport with complete log files! Thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
