Hi all suse 9.2 fully YOU updated error message: (EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. (WW) I810(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x8000000) hence after every KDE desktop login attempt - the display falls back to login page ... how it started: yesterday i installed a redhat 9 rpm version of ymessenger ... it worked - install was made in user root ... but later when i rebooted my linux box and wanted to login to desktop as root above error message occurred hence i assume the install destroyed a file needed for desktop layout or config ?? the login is impossible for ANY desktop - hence also fvwm and others !! meanwhile that ymessenger rpm has been removed - the problems persists for user root and desktop login ! important however login to my user account - KDE desktop still works hence it must be a file existing for each user separately AND valid for all desktops any idea which file could be responsible for such problem and how to solve the problem ?? -- Hans Cyberspace Ashram - solutions of love http://www.kriyayoga.com
