[Sugar-devel] Soas blueberry - x.org problems?

[Martin Langhoff]

Hi list!

"made" a SoaS v2 sticks, but it has problems during X.org startup.

 - it boots
 - The plymouth stage completes just fine (circles around XO icon...)
 - You can see the pointer appear, with the "processing" swirl
swirling, but it disappears after a second or two. It reappears after
a second, diappears... Looks like x.org is having problems during
startup, and retrying endlessly.

I cannot get to a VT long enough to diagnose or even login, because X
is switching VTs all the time. Is there a way to tell x.org that it's
enough?

This is, btw, on a vanilla laptop with i965 video chipset where Fedora
11 has no problems at all with x.org. Tested on a thinkpad and seen
the exact same behaviour. Maybe this is a known issue with SoaS v2?

To make it, I used livecd-tools directly, like this:

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --noverify --overlay-size-mb
300 --home-size-mb 500 --unencrypted-home ~/soas-2-blueberry.iso
/dev/sdd1

cheers,
