I then rebooted and root worked without a password. I changed the password to my 'normal' one. Then I logged in as my user. Yast and su from a shell both refused my root password. I logged out, and back in as root from run-level 3. The password worked there. Then I did a startx from root and changed my password (again to the normal one). Then I logged out. At level 3, my root password was bad again.
This is all from a fresh install. I've done nothing else to the system.
Any idea of what's going on????
Most likely, you have a bad keyboard mapping problem... In other words, when you log in using the console, you're using a different mapping compared to when you log in on X, etc. Check if the keys you type corresponds to what comes out on the screen. -- - E -
