[solved] init 5 and logout from Xorg session --> crash

Hi guys and gals!
Hope this is the right forum.

I have a strange issue here with restarting Xorg sessions. As long as I just boot up or use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to start and shutdown X, there's no problem at all, session manager (kdm) comes up properly and everything is just fine. But if I logout from the environment  (KDE3), Xorg crashes and I get a black screen with a blinking cursor or even full of strange y" symbols on vc/7.

On the other virtual consoles I'm able to run startx and this is still in runlevel 5!

Here are the last 50 lines from Xorg.0.log after such a crash:

Fatal server error:

BTW: nvidia-96xx 96.43.05-1

Of course, I can switch to runlevel 3 and then 5 again to get a session manager, but you have to be root for this and I got other users here. So this is quite stupid.

I can't remember to had this problem before, it seems to be since my update yesterday. Repositories only current, extra and community, pacnew files are all merged with my configs. Don't see any cause.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Re: [solved] init 5 and logout from Xorg session --> crash

This is already in another thread : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43799
It's probably a nvidia bug, but there is a workaround given at the end of the other thread.

Mmh, haven't found that, thanks for the link. This workaround helped.
