openSUSE 12.2 Revival Part 2

Installing 12.2 to a USB hard drive worked well, and I got it to not break (installed FGLRX), so I installed it over Sabayon on the main drive, and did the same, but the problem was still there; I had to switch between GNOME and IceWM.

Well, I got almost everything to work, though the window theme isn't working right, but maybe I can find another window theme that will?

I had to look at the X error logs and installed stuff that it said it couldn't find, which helped out most of it, but then it went back to the "something went wrong" screen, so I had to go back into IceWM to install more things and decided to install LXDE as well.

GNOME was still broken, so I decided to switch to LXDE, which was a bad idea, as I wasn't able to do anything - it was just a black screen and a cursor. So after some run-arounds... I popped in the LM11 disk to edit the display manager file to disable the auto login (it kept booting me into LXDE) so I can get to IceWM to read the log file...

After rebooting, I got to the login screen and the background was there! So instead of booting into IceWM, I booted into GNOME instead, and had no problems!

Well, minus the fact that the window part of the theme isn't working, but oh well. I'll have to see if I can fix that since it seems that it might be the CSS sheets in the theme that's causing it to not work (there's a whole slew of errors from the CSS sheets in the X session errors log).

Needless to say, I'm back with openSUSE completely.

Oh, setting up dual screen was funny. I had to set it up in Catalyst Control Center first, reboot, then set it up in the regular display setting in the control panel. Whatever works I guess XD

I think Melty has definitely earned her worth as a tsundere. (XP)
