guys

Updates tonight from the xorg repo broke x on my toshiba laptop. The system would boot and be dumped to console with some message about not being able to move Xorg.0.log to Xorg.0.log.old (ho hum...)

That _may_ be a permissions problem. It depends on how you start X

If you are using runlevel 5 then kdm should be running as root and kdm will start X and there should'nt be a problem.

Anton, thanks for you reply. Hmm... I'm using kdm, so I would expect the permissions to be handled automatically: 22:45 alchemy:~/tmp> ps ax | grep kdm 1458 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kdm

So you need a /etc/permissions.local /usr/bin/Xorg root:root 4711

and then run as root:

chkstat -set /etc/permissions.local

I still get that sometimes but I wonder if my hardware is acting up

What is strange is that I have always used kdm to start X on 11.4 and it has been bullet proof. So this is new as of yesterday... <snip>

I've been having a LOT of problems with xorg packages or over a month now.

Yes, I recall your posts on it. There have been a whole lot of changes with radeon driver under bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678264 but that has been a huge improvement for the driver. I wonder if this may not be a kde3/kdm issue that got introduced on one of the latest rebuilds. I'll forward this to Ilya and see if he has any thoughts as well... There was the kdm update for kde3 on: 1314322823 (Thu 25 Aug 2011 08:40:23 PM CDT) kdebase3-kdm -- David C.
