openSUSE 13.2 32bit KDE
I’m trying to install 13.2 on an old box with only 1GB memory. No errors during installation. No errors are reported in a console as it boots, then when it switches to graphics a rotating cursor appears but no image displays, the screen flashes and the process repeats. I can’t switch to any other window and I have to turn the power off to stop the repeating process. I booted to level 3 and ran YaST which identified the graphics as SiS 660. A previously installed Knoppix ran in graphics mode so I believe the graphics card is functioning. Invoking “startx” results in the following output.

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe that's the reason?
If so either use a display manager (strongly recommended) or adjust /etc/permissions.local and run "chkstat --system --set" afterwards
Could someone please suggest the next step in resolving the problem. Thanks in advance.
