Unable to start gnome or kde(as of Fedora Core Test 2). I get the startup
"Fedora Core" without the icons and then a freeze (I am still able to Ctrl
Alt Bkspace to the prompt). I've looked at the logs and have problems with
the Alsa driver and the esound. I had gnome problems since RH 9.
With Fedora Core 1 I could start kde by using gdm in root and then logging
into root with the session being kde. Kde no longer works with this method.
Would a reinstall be a good recommend as opposed to an update?
I'm running a Athlon XP1600+ /w 512 mgs ram, FX5600 (an Abit Siluro 256mb
version)
although I have gotten x to work (I dont see it being the video card)
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be great because I have an IBM R40
and FC T2 rocks on it!
Jon

Are you by chance using the nvidia supplied binary only drivers?
BTW, your question might be better suited for fedora-test-list.
