Post subject: kdm freezes with intel 865GM

I have two problems with kdm on a fresh install of Nyx:

1) If I enter in the wrong password, kdm won't let me type in a new one. It says "login failed" and lets me restart/change sessions/whatever but I can't type in a new password to log in without restarting X.

2) If I use the Menu->Restart X command, X just crashes and the computer gives me a blank screen that requires a hard restart.

Sometimes a badly burned CD can cause log on problems even if install went OK. Did You burn disk with DAO option? (Disk At Once) and at slow speed, See post below

By the way how is California these days ? I lived in Ventura County most of my life until i moved to San Antonio TX. I miss the weather and the beach but not the traffic, high house prises and the cost of living out there. Wink

This is not a new regression; it has happened on all installs of sidux on this machine but I just didn't bother to report it before. The burn is clean though I always check to make sure.

California is quite nice although cost of living is certainly painful. It's depressing that we can't get faster cheap internet though living in the heart of silicon valley.

Nobody can get anything cheap any more thanks to GW Bush and his henchmen ( Chianee and Others) Mad

At least Linux is free Very Happy

hi,
with my intel graphic card ( Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller) i also had some problems.
try to solve it in xorg.conf:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"

the default is: "on"
