It's the Xorg.0.log

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100204 SUSE/3.5.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.8

Problem is similar to #581635  but for Milestone 3 and another hardware (also NVIDIA)

I tried Milestone 3 on my Dell Inspiron 530N with a NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS to boot into LiveCD.

I tried several options (failsafe, no dmca, 800x600, ...) but always the same result: when the system switches to the ldesktop the screens goes black (or shows the 4 basic colors with "acpi=off" or "nomodeset").


I installed sax2 and tried sax2 -r -m 0=nv (as well as 0=nouveau or 0=vesa) always identical results.
There is only 1 graphical device (tested with sax2 -p)

I also tried runlevel 3 and Xorg -configure:
Screen goes blank with one small underscore in the upper-left corner. No terminal (ctrl-alt F2 etc) available, no access - only power off helps anymore.



OpenSUSE seems to run pretty fine - otherwise (going into another terminal doesn't show any problems)

ALL openSuSE versions (at least since 10.0) have been running on this PC very well.(Just now I'm using 11.2 with Nvidia - driver.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LiveCD
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
reproducing is quite straightforward - start LiveCD

Expected Results:  
I'd prefer to see the desktop

I have more files e.g. from /var/log - and even screenshots with the camera (the failed sax2 ..)
But I don't know how to attache multiple files
