[Sugar-devel] Sugar and X problems logging in to Soas2-200903271806 on an XO-1

I have an XO-1 with OFW q2e33 and have intermittently tried out
Rawhide-XO builds and SoaS 2 builds with varying success.

I downloaded Soas2-200903271806.iso and ran latest LiveUSB-Creator
3.6.3 under Windows XP to put it and a 256 MB persistent storage area
on a USB flash drive.  The USB flash drive is "2GB" (approx
1,900,000,000 bytes) USB flash drive with a handful of other files on
it.

Insert the USB flash drive, power on XO-1, hold down check key.

The hot dog is back!
After a minute the screen goes dark.
After another 90 seconds of dark screen I get the blue swirl Login:
screen with "liveuser",
Log in.
After several seconds that goes to dark screen, and a few seconds
later I'm back at the blue Login: screen. :-(

In a console, ~liveuser has no .sugar subdirectory, so it looks like
Sugar never got rolling.

The file "/var/log/slim.log" has various tantalizing errors.  The
whole thing follows.  Should I try tinkering with DISPLAY and
permissions?  There is no /home/liveuser/.Xauthority file, and
/home/liveuser is drwx-r-xr-x owned by root, not liveuser, so it seems
odd.

Hope this helps.  Is there a Talk page somewhere on SugarLabs.org to
report success or failure with SoaS 2 builds?
