In this case, the default target was graphical. The last thing in Xorg.0.log are messages about the keyboard hotkeys. After I entered my password, the KDE splash screen appeared with a working cursor. But instead of going to a black screen, it stayed on the splash screen. The Xorg.0.log did not change until I switched to VT2, then it showed both AIGLX suppended and resuming when I switched back to the hung VT1. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave@xxxxxxxxxxx dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Everything that can be invented has been invented." -- Charles H.
