Public bug reported: I had some problems with my xorg.conf which stopped the X server from starting correctly. The problem is that when it fails to start, I am left with a blank screen that is unusable. I have to restart in runlevel 3 to get to a console (and even then it doesn't start correctly. It appears that kdm is not releasing and allowing the console to start. Also, I would like to see better use of the "Console Login" feature in kdm. With openSUSE, when you select "Console Login" from the kdm menu, it kills the x server and drops you back to the console. After you logout of the console, it restarts the x server and kdm for you automatically which is a very nice feature.
