Hi all,

Is anyone else seeing this happen? What I mean is the system boots just 
fine to the GUI login screen, but after I've logged out of my Xwindows 
session it doesn't remain in init 5, but drops to init 3, and the console 
login appears. In order to get the GUI login screen back I've got to drop 
to init 1 and then go to init 5.

There's already been a bug report submitted on it.  I think you can also 
get the dm back by logging in at the console prompt and typing: service 
-f dm   (you will need to be root or su to root).  After that, you won't 
get kicked out of the dm until you reboot and logout the first time.  
Hopefully, it will be fixed for RC2.

Awesome...thanks Joeb. By the way...when is the scheduled release date of 
RC2?

Hopefully, not until it's finished!  It seems that the RC introduced a 
bunch of problems that weren't in the last beta.  Most, but not all seem 
to be cleared up in cooker.  I haven't actually heard of a release 
date.  Since .2 releases are supposed to be the most stable of the 
series (7.2, 8.2 and now 9.2)  I hope Mandrake would let the release 
date slip if needed for improved stability.
