System: Compaq Deskpro, P-233 MMX, 192 MB, 4.2 GB, 1 MB Video on board, standard PS/2 2 button with scroll wheel (as middle button), using Mandrake Linux 9.0 RC2 iso images.
After installing RC2 on a test machine, I was having all kinds of good luck with it, until there was a power cutoff while logged into KDE. After any successive reboot, it starts /etc/init.d/dm and I can see it loading. It then displays the login panel of kdm (my preferred login manager). After a few seconds, the screen blanks and drops down to the C-A-F1 login screen as if init 3 had been issued. C-A-F7 is a blank screen. I have been into the Mandrake Control Center and made sure that KDE automatically starts but does not auto-login a user. I even changed it to not start X upon boot (init 3), saved it, then changed it back to init 5 on boot and re-saved just to make sure it took. If I login as any user on the F1 screen and issue a "startx", it comes up just fine. If I login as root and issue a "/etc/init.d/dm restart" the display manager comes up and stays up. Users are able to login & use the machine as normal. When a user logs out, it stays on the kdm login screen as it's supposed to. However, on reboots, it does the exact thing as described in the 3rd paragraph. Here is some pertinent info from /var/log/message towards the end of the boot process: kernel: Splash status on console 0 changed to off echo: 0 rc: Disabling Boot logo succeeded kdm[957]: Unknown session exit code from manager process kdm[957]: Rescanning all config files gpm[798]: info: [mice.c(1751)]: gpm[798]: imps2: Auto-detected intellimouse PS/2 Before, I was getting errors dealing with problems with mice.c on the boot process. It is either something blowing up with dm or mice.c from what I can tell. Any help or ideas would be great.
