maybe this problem is already posted somewhere. If yes, please excuse.
I have an ACER TravelMate 6003LMI with openSUSE 11.3 and I updated now to KDE 4.5. So far, the update went fine, but now I cannot login anymore. openSUSE 11.3 boots up to the login prompt, I’m logging in, the KDE progress bar reaches about 75% and then it hangs up.
My looks like this and I must confess, that at the moment I have no idea what’s going wrong:

The last lines are from an “shutdown -r now” that I did by remotely logging in.
I have tried it now and it works! I should have done this earlier.
But what does it mean? What it is switch off (or different) in a failsafe boot compared to a normal boot?
Usually my screen resolution is 1400x1050, now it is 1280x1024.
Yast does no longer contain the Sax module to configure graphic card and monitor.
Do I have to do this now in the “Display and Monitor” section of the KDE settings
or somewhere else?
If I go to the “Display and Monitor” section of the KDE settings just to change the
screensaver, the dialog crashes.
You need to look at this again
openSUSE Graphic Card Practical Theory Guide for Users
I have read it. And after that I just added “nomodeset” to my usual boot parameters. Now it works again although I don’t really know why, since the kernel architecture is the same as before with KDE 4.4.4. But anyway, it works again.
So thanks a lot for your patient help.
