For my case at least, the problem isn't that SL can't figure out how to run X on my hardware, just that it doesn't do so early enough. What would be the consequences of turning off rhgb? Would it stop gdm f rom running and force all users to type 'startx' after logging in if they wan t an X session? Or does rhgb just hide the details of the boot process? I f the second, then I personally would be happy with your option 1. Btw, what is the 'nox' option supposed to do? It evidently doesn't stop X from being configured. Does it really just mean 'no graphical login'? I t doesn't get consulted in /etc/rc.sysinit. Where does it have its effect?
