Screen output when I try to start X manually (as root)

Description of problem:

When I am trying to log in to my desktop, X crashes while loading Gnome and loads login screen again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv-intel
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-7.fc11.i586

How reproducible:

95%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start computer
2. Wait until login screen
3. Login in
  
Actual results:

After 1-2 seconds X crashes and returns to the login screen (gdm)

Expected results:

Being able to log-in.

Additional info:

I was using happily suspend/resume functionality, but unfortunately it got broken - in 10-20% cases after resume I could only see fedora logo and that's all (I've filled bug regarding this issue and my friend, who's using a laptop with intel graphics card confirmed this issue on his machine too).

I've tried earlier kernel, same result, I've also tried to use “nomodeset” - same result. Changing AccelMethod to “EXA” - same result, changing to “XAA” - no screen, though computer works, when I press “power-off” button, it switches off.

I've just tried Fedora 12 Spin 1 Live - worked fine, logged in without any problems, though panels/windows where flashing after I've enabled compiz...

Comment 4 markm 2009-09-21 20:11:57 EDT

Testing Fedora 12 Spin 3 XFCE Live - worked fine till log in screen, then got a message “Unable to load a failsafe session” with explanation:

Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly.

and when I press “quit”, I get the login screen again :)
