I am running SuSE 9.3 and I noticed that if I install something or do an

and I do not have any clue why (I haven't changed any display settings).
Especially since the update/install is for some program that shouldn't
be touching the setting for X (ie. Gnucash, DVDrip, etc..). When it
happens, I can only get the xconsole login manager and GUI. I have tried
restoring my original xorg.conf file, but I get the same problem. The
only way I know of to resolve this is to do a re-install. Has this
happened to anyone else? How did you fix this problem? What is causing it?

Aloha Rodney,
I had a similar problem with a Debian Sarge Box I built.
I edited the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file
and commented out this line which a downloaded update added.
#/usr/bin/gdm
and in /boot/grub/menu.1st
I added
init=/sbin/init3
This is used because Debian runlevels 2-5 are the same by default.
Then I could run the Gnome manager from the command line.
I don't know SUSE, but you can probably do something similar to get
the Gnome back.
