Well, was going to upgrade all the packages for 11.4 at my best friend's house... Yeah.. Booted into it and, bam, the good old Xorg permission problem showed up. So I attempted to use zypper to update but I wasn't automatically connected to eth0... So I gave up and just logged into root and used startx and was gonna update that way. Nope... My network manager applet was missing so I still couldn't connect. I went the way to connect through ifup and it worked minus the fact that a package needed to be installed and the package manager was already running. I said screw it since it worked well enough.
About 10 or so minutes in I got bored since there was a little over a gigabyte of updates so I aborted and restarted the package manager. I looked at the list of updates and only updated the Xorg packages. Took a few seconds and I rebooted.
Success! I was able to get into GNOME without any problem. So now I just have to remember on a fresh install of 11.4 to zypper FGLRX and Xorg (maybe along with the kernel)....
Hmm... At this point, it seems like it may just be a better idea (ideer) to just stick with 11.3 since it's starting to seem like a pain for all this. BUT! I now do know what I need to do to get it working decently... I'm in a mixed basket right now about it.
