X troubleshoorint on labtop

[Chris Friedt]

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will actually kill the current X-session, but usually
if xdm / gdm or whatever is running it will try to restart the X-session
almost immediately. I've noticed in the past (specifically w/ gdm) that
sometimes you really have to fight with it before it will give up!!

Is X working in Debian but not Suse? When you are at the blank screen,

press <ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace>, that should kill and re-invoke X. Does

that seem to do anything at all? I've got a Thinkpad A22m running
Debian 
and I've had good luck with Debian. I haven't tried Suse yet though.
