This problem was again evident in Xubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft. It affects anything that uses X including xdm, gdm, kdm, XFCE, GNOME, and KDE. It only occurs on the LegendQDI Superb 1 motherboard I have which uses the SiS530/5595 chipset and a K6-2/350MHz CPU. The same installation works correctly with a SiS5598 and Via MVP3 motherboard. While reading through the comments for Bug #39315 the suggestion by colonius to change the kernel caught my attention. Switching from the generic (SMP) kernel to i386 (2.6.17-10-i386) eliminated the problem.
