Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
On my Intrepid set up, sometimes KDM doesn't appear (somewhere around one in five boots). Instead I just see a black screen. If I press ALT+CTRL+Backspace a couple of times and wait about two minutes (no exaggeration) KDM will then appear. Other times, KDM appears right away after I boot up my machine. Unfortunately, I am unable to find out a trigger that is responsible for causing this, so I'm including as much information as I can think of to help you. If I'm forgetting a log file or two let me know what's needed.
Unfortunately, I don't know for sure what package is causing this, so I chose "kdm" as it's the only thing that I can think of to mark in this bug report.
My machine consists of the following:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Video Card: 2 X Geforce 8600GT (SLI)
OS: Kubuntu Intrepid 64-bit with all updates
Please note that I run a Kubuntu-only machine with no GTK apps whatsoever, other than what may have possibly been included in Kubuntu, if any. This is a fresh install of Alpha 6, not an upgrade from a previous version.
I forgot to mention, with my SLI set up, the xorg.conf file I posted is the only thing that will give me an X Server at all, so that's why I had to make a custom one.
