There's no sign of nomodeset in the boot
parameters.
Maybe latest NVidia drivers have been updated to utilize KMS and I just haven't
heard about it yet? AFAIK, NVidia's Xorg drivers require KMS be disabled.
I'll see if any clues turn up, although I'm
tempted to try the spare HD
first.
For reference, running ksmserver with gdb gives the
following, which may
or may not be relevant:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

On a 32bit mga6 installation on host gx27b with rv200 Radeon gfx (very old) and
14.0.4 from mga5 sources, last updated 19 June, during urpmi --autoselect I got

Trying to run TDE session via startx in multi-user.target Xorg starts, but
immediately exits with:
Closing log file.: line1: TDE: command not \
foundxinit: connection to X server lost.
xinit and xinitrc are installed.
Booted to graphical.target I can login in TDM (with UseTheme=no configured) and
get a working TDE session.
