Christian:
Could you please test another display connector? (DVI etc)
I connected the HDMI out from the X1000 directly to the HDMI on the monitor.
No change in the behaviour.
Additionally, could you please post the output of ps -C Xorg after you booted the alpha8?
This is empty. There is no "Xorg" in the process list running after I login to the raw terminal screen.
Please boot the alpha8 with the following boot arguments:
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/<your partition> rw"
Doing this, I still end up in the plain terminal screen for login, but
I seem to get more information during the bootup.
Lightdm starts up, starting up XServer and making progress until
it shows a "Process 2624 terminated with signal 6" and then shuts
XServer and itself down
This repeats about 10 times, logging this text each time
in lightd.log:
