Public bug reported:
With a recent update to X, KDM as window manager crashes upon boot hence
rendering the system dead. See bug #491483.
What is worse is that at least for certain kinds of intel graphic chips
this also (!) breaks the rescue mode available via grub2. I. e. upon
booting in single user mode, the system should dump the user into a
console. What happens is "system freeze". There is no rescue console.
Imho this is a serious problem. No X related problem should have any (!)
influence on the text console and single user mode.
