OK, any pointers about what files I need to fiddle with would be much appreciated.

Robert, Start with the basics: (1) do you have the proper kernel module (driver) installed to support your graphics card? What is it? Intel, ATI, Nvidia? (2) go move /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.sav and restart X. (rcxdm/rcgdm restart) X has been able to choose reasonable defaults without an xorg.conf since ~7.2. Also, since you are using gnome, there is a big change between gdm 1X and the new gdm 2X. I don't know if you had a custom theme for gdm installed with 11.1, but it will not be supported in gdm 2X (there are presently very limited mods available for the new gdm) (further, I don't know if that would impact your X start or not, but it's worth looking into) (3) make sure there is nothing funky in your ~/.Xdefaults (4) make sure you have the right 11.3 gnome repositories available to zypper. I have: baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/Apps/openSUSE_11.3 baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/Contrib/openSUSE_11.3 baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/2.30/openSUSE_1... Those are the immediate ideas that come to mind. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
