After getting annoyed with the latest nvidia driver performance problems I reinstalled nouveau following aptosid tutorial, removed all nvidia files and purged xorg.conf. Now every time I start my machine after normal boot messages I'm presented with tty log-in prompt, not the kdm log-in window.If I log-in as root, switch to init 3 and then init 5 && exit I get the log-in window. If I log-in as user from the tty I have weird permission restrictions on all removable storage (any SD card or flash drive) . Quite annoying,even more than nvidia  |

Did you do
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
and reboot |

Thank you towo, your input is always the most valuable, I removed that line first thing after purging nvidia
etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
and /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Code:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.3-4.slh.1-aptosid-686' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 07667c61-7712-473b-bfaa-a1db282c5497
echo 'Loading Linux 3.3-4.slh.1-aptosid-686 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.3-4.slh.1-aptosid-686 root=UUID=07667c61-7712-473b-bfaa-a1db282c5497 ro
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.3-4.slh.1-aptosid-686
And I'm not the only one
