It seems to be a timing problem. And I do not know what else.
Perhaps I need to do more tresting, but each test takes around 10 min.
I have to boot, see it fail to go into X, try something reboot....
I have noticed that if I run pm-suspend and power back up, watch the
system hang, pull the AC and the battery, and power up, I get into X.
Strange?
But in the last few rounds, while services were loading, I did not do an
<alt-D> to see details and X did not crash. Seems to be a timing
issue... ???
Now my display is set for the one I have in my NOC, not the one here in
my office. I tried to change it and although I am told the update to
xorg.conf was made, no changes were made. I guess next time I will log
in as root instead of chancing su...
ARGH!!!!!
