I installed Direct Connect. During installation it said something about Mesa (graphics) and I just knew I would suffer because of it.
Now when I boot, it simply never gets to the graphical login, and does not display a console login either. Instead I get the string of boot status messages, and then it stops. The computer is booted and running, but I am not logged in, and have no way to login. (Even the Alt-F2, etc gives me nothing to login with.) I booted to failsafe, re-installed NVidia's proprietary drivers. I ran XFdrake. Test is successful, but I still can not boot with a login. Now I _can_ boot to failsafe, and do a init 5. (That's why it's possible for me to compose this message.) What the hell kind of sense does that make? How do I fix this? Miark
