[Bug 554023] Re: gdm fails to start

 

Short Story:
Kernel 2.6.32-11.15 is a kernel that causes the problem on my LucidLynx machine with all updated packages.
Kernel 2.6.32-10.14 is a kernel that boots fine on my LucidLynx machine with all updated packages.

Attached is the Xorg.0.log file from booting with the latest 2.6.32-21.32 kernel 
with "nomodeset" and with ModeDebug.

SideNote: the Beta 1 LiveCD boots fine on my machine, and that release used kernel 2.6.32-16.25
(so that part doesn't make sense to me, since that kernel as of today does NOT work, but I'll let you deal with this
conflicting information. (Unless the Beta 1 LiveCD used "nomodeset" to boot up and Betat2 LiveCD did not?))

Longer story:
I did this testing today:
2.6.32-7.10    Boots fine.
2.6.32-10.14  Boots fine.     (2 tests)
2.6.32-11.15  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"     (2 tests)
2.6.32-12.16  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-12.17  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-14.20  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-16.25  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-16.25  in the form of the Beta1 LiveCD boots fine. <-- does this make sense?
2.6.32-17.26  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-18.27  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-19.28  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-20.29  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"
2.6.32-21.32  Fails but works fine with "nomodeset"

The infromation in the previous posting had a syntax error, the word Device needed quotes, as in:
   Section "Device"

and thank you again for your time on this.
