From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 Description of problem: init 5 mode loads the kernel and the X server black screen with the x cursor and hangs. The mouse is active but the login screen never comes up. In init 3 mode startx works for single user mode, however it goes directly to the desktop and not the login screen. Also logging out returns to text mode I need to be able to log in under X. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-7.1.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot system init 5 2.manually start "X" 3. Actual Results: blank screen with x cursor. Mouse moves the cursor arround the screen but it never makes it to the login screen. Expected Results: X should continue past the blank screen and x cursor and bring up the login screen. Additional info: P3 processor nvidia gforce2 100Mx Video Card. 320Mbt Memory.
If X is starting, this is probably gdm's fault.
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
