xorg.conf
Try adding 'Load "dri"' to Modules section of xorg.conf to prevent Xserver from crashing during mode switch (default for a new X configuration) and remove 'UseModes "Modes[0]"' to get standard VESA modelines. The two recommended changes to xorg.conf corrected the problem. Thanks Could you please attach the new logfile? Thanks. Created attachment 49529 [details]
Xorg.0.log after xorg.conf changes
I've also noticed that at some point after the upgrade, I have lost the ability to switch to the text-mode consoles via ctrl-alt-Fn. > I've also noticed that at some point after the upgrade, I have lost the

That's the reason. From which SUSE version did you update exactly?

Need to check an update from 9.3 --> 10.0 RC1 I suspect that the XKB keymap problem is fallout from the RPM shuffling that I've done after the upgrade rather than from the upgrade itself. Recall in my initial report that immediately after the upgrade, ctrl-alt-F1 would apparently freeze the system. Thanks for the hint. Anyway, it's good to verify this since there has been problems in the past. Since 'Load "dri"' will be default on 10.0 and I can't reproduce the xkb problem (see also comment #11) I close this as FIXED now. |
Upgraded system (Giga-byte Technology GA-7VAX Mainboard) from 9.3 to 10.0 RC 1. After initial boot, when X started the LCD monitor (ViewSonic XV900) gave a "No Signal" indication. Restarted upgrade in Text mode and upgrade completed. When entering runlevel 5, monitor again reported "No Signal". Attempting to switch to console 1 (ctrl-alt-f1) froze system (at least it stopped responding to ping). Installed xorg-x11-server-6.8.2-30 (and xorg-x11-server-glx-6.8.2-30) from 9.3 and X worked as expected. hwinfo output: 21: PCI(AGP) 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.277] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1106_7205 Unique ID: VCu0.q7rHBloBfx9 Parent ID: vSkL.S16qDHSKEeD SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "VIA KM400" Vendor: pci 0x1106 "VIA Technologies, Inc."
