Description of problem: When trying to boot the rawhide KDE live CD, boot fails to start X. This problem happens on a machine with the following specifications: Core 2 Duo E6600 2GB DDR2 RAM Radeon X1950XT video card Live CD starts at the command line, asking for a login. One can log in as root and use the same functionality that you would expect from the command line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide KDE Live CD for 20080404, for both i686 and x86_64. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the KDE Live CD from a computer matching the specifications above. 2. At the command line, login as root. 3. Type 'startx' Actual results: X begins to start, but ends with this output: Unblank crtc 0 success giving up. xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to x server xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error Expected results: X should load, and user should be greeted with a GUI. Additional info: The same live CD's will load from a computer with an AMD64 3200+ processor and a Radeon 9800PRO video card. This seems to be hardware specific, and since it's X, I have a feeling it's the video card. This is my first bug report, so let me know if you require any additional information from my end.

Created attachment 302833 [details] Xorg.0.log file for machine where X does not start, Bug 442658
Created attachment 302834 [details] Xorg.0.log for a machine where problem does not occur
I've added two attachments, the Xorg.0.log (Comment #2) for my machine that does not start X, and the Xorg.0.log.working (Comment #3) file is for the machine where the same Live CD works. There was no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for either machine.
Created attachment 302966 [details] Xorg.0.log from Fedora 9 Preview - working
I just ran the Preview KDE Live CD (x86_64) and it loads X just fine. For anybody curious, I uploaded the Xorg.0.log file in case somebody has time to compare the two. Looks like the problem with rawhide is moot, since this problem was resolved with something in the Preview version. Thanks!
Thanks for letting us know.
