If that works you could investigate what Xdm actually does. No idea about runlevels either, sorry. One further idea though: try enabling/disabling kms (kernel option 'nomodeset'), see whether the problem persists. The arch wiki says nouveau needs kms, but it's not always right. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau#KMS https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMS Regards, Philipp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
