I performed a standard kde4 and gnome install on my Dell Latitude D830.  When the install completed and the xwindows login screen appears I am not able to move the mouse or use the keyboard to navigate and or type in username and password.  Alt + F1 will take you to a virtual terminal and the keyboard works.  init 3 then init 5 doesn't seem to make a difference.  I then tried a install not using images and at the end of the install it did not detect my video and display properly.  I modified them to use lcd 1900x1200 but xwindows didn't start at the first boot.  So I manually ran sax2 from the terminal prompt.  Sax2 did detect the laptop display video card and resolution / color properly.  Changing from init 3 then back to init 5 and xwindows worked fine.


My system has a GM965 intel video card and 15" lcd laptop screen.
