I am guessing problem is caused by runlevel 3. Problem does not occur when in runlevel 5.

Oh yeah, video driver is vesa. fglrx ati driver will not start.

Disabled user desktop effects, rebooted. Problem is also in runlevel 5. No clue as to what is causing the black screens.

if it's still valid maybe the oxygen theme + icon are missing

Comment 4 Bit Twister 2014-08-14 04:49:03 CEST

Installed Mageia-5-alpha2-x86_64-DVD.iso, applied updates, reboot and problem no longer exists.
