Description Samuel Verschelde 2011-04-05 15:33:13 CEST 
Description of problem:
When I try to start a second session without closing the current KDE session, it fails. It doesn't look like a KDE problem, it's X that can't start (see attached logs).

How reproducible:
always here

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start KDE
2. select "switch user"
3. it shows a black screen then falls back to the first session


Reproducible:

Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

For the record, this looks like the same issue: http://forum.mandriva.com/fr/viewtopic.php?t=134203&p=844262

Looks like xorg.conf info for fglrx may need to be changes (that rings a bell about a bug in mdv bugzilla).

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
