Hi,
Over the last couple of days I have applied the opensuse 10.3 updates as notified by zypper. Three of theses updates have broken my login to KDE. I was still able to login via a console screen.
These are the updates that caused the first problem. After the updates were applied, when I tried to log into KDE, the screen went black and then returned to the login screen.
libopenssl-devel 4476-0 libopenssl-devel 4560-0
The .xsession-errors file indicated an openssl version problem. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of that file now.
The fix to this problem was to reinstall the original openssl packages from the opensuse 10.3 dvd from the console using the following command.
rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssl-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm openssl-certs-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm
This happens if you have the FACTORY repository added. The security patch for openssl will pull in the _FACTORY_ openssl version instead of the of the _SECURITY_ update version. While the provides/requirements all fit, the FACTORY version is binary incompatible.
The second problem occurred when I installed the following x11-server update. I was unable to move my mouse pointer or enter text into the password field. I could still login via the text console.
This was the offending patch
xorg-x11-server 4595-0
Now this should work, please open a bugreport.

I have been googling the problem but can't find any mention of this problem
I'm not sure if I have a problem with my install or if this is a known issue. Is this the right place to be posting this issue?
