3. Login under my normal username is accepted, try startx, screen
flashes some text (something about authority, I think from the bit I can
see), screen goes black then comes back to the CLI with several repeats
of a message about keyboard not compiling, error not fatal, waiting for
X to terminate. Logon as root is accepted, gives a grey screen & then a
Gnome window comes up & seems to work OK.
What video driver? Did it get upgraded recently?
Tried the Live CD. The original non-KDE one works OK, the KDE CD
comes
up to a login window wanting a password for "liveuser" (which it never
did before - this system was installed from the F10-live-kde disc
without any problem); I've tried all the passwords I can think of & it
just keeps coming back to the login screen.....
The default password on the live CDs is blank, i.e. don't enter a password,
just press ENTER. No idea why the autologon isn't working though.
