Basil, Russ and Michael,
can you test this:
- boot in runlevel 3,
type digit 3 on boot menu screen and press Enter,
that will bring you in text mode
- login as user
works the same way as GNOME login
- startx
this command is is oldfashioned way to start GUI,
wait until KDE/GNOME is done than
- logout from GUI,
it will bring you back to command line, that is also
oldfashioned behavior
- startx again
in this moment I have lockup.
If I set openSUSE to run directly in GUI ie. runevel 5 than there is *no*
problems. I can logout and login as many times as I want.
I tried 2 different drivers, both compiled against the newest kernel, and one
precompiled from nvidia web site, installed with zypper (yast). They all have
same behavior.
Configuration with sax2 works in the same way as above procedure, it starts
GUI with info window to change configuration or just OK sax2 selected.
I have always to change screen size (if nothing else), so I use 'change', do
my changes and then select 'Test'.
In this moment sax2 will restart X server with new configuration that includes
my changes, and lock up in 10.3. The 10.2 works fine.
I use dual screen in TwinView mode. That is also pain to configure as sax2
can't see second monitor, but that is a problem since 10.1.
I have onboard nvidia GeForce 6100 LT that is always on due to 'overengineered
BIOS' that probably looks for PCI Express adapter, can't see one and enables
onboard graphics that I just disabled.
The motherboard is MSI K8NGM2 series (emachines T6528).
