Hi Faisal Yes, I upgraded using Xinstall.sh and also tried the new binaries from Suse doing it manually per their instructions, then back again. Seems if I do the Suse install, gui login works, if I do the Xinstall.sh, it does not, however, with the Suse install, agp is broken.
I could not find any of those directories under /etc/X11/gdm, guess it is because I am running KDE.

If the answer is yes, then you are facing the same problem I had. I used the gdm to log into Gnome. After the X upgrade, my gdm & GNome were gone and replaced with xdm and a different window manager. If this is the case, there are 2 solutions: (1) reinstall the new X using the Xinstall.sh and when you are asked questions choose the deafult (ususally is n). (2) go to /etc/X11 and edit the files in the directory of your favorite display manager (under sessions). For example, I use Gnome and gdm, so I go to /etc/X11/gdm then I go to sessions dierectory. Under it, you will find choices for window managers (Default, Gnome, KDE, etc) Each of these is a small text files that contains commands to start the appropriate wm. Gnome -> exec gnome-session KDE -> exec kde Defauult -> exec gnome-session OR exec kde OR whatever IMPORTATNT: make sure that Defualt has the correct command that will start your favorite wm. I hope this kinda helps :-) Faisal --- Art Fore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Have done this, it is already at run level 5 but still does > not go into gui > login. boot.messages show is goes into runlevel 5, but it does > not. > > Art > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
