Description Martijn Rowaan 2008-04-03 19:48:01 UTC

After booting the livecd either with or without framebuffer, X fails to initialize and presents me the possibility to read the log. The laptop can run X flawlessly, but not this version of X, apparently. This release is not the only one I encountered these problems with, but it is the first time i could take the time to tap in the errorlog because in other distros the xserver seemed to come in a loop and all i could do is reset the machine.. Laptop is a pentium4 2.6Ghz with 512MB ram, a 60 GB hdd and ethernet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert medium and boot

Actual Results:
