It appears that I have a problem running firstboot after installing SL 
5.2 on a system with an ASUS MSA-VM - AMD 690G Chipset based 
motherboard. I think that the integrated ATI Radeon X1250 GPU video is 
not recognized because the error (which is very hard to catch since it 
is at the bottom of the started services - just when the system switches 
to graphical mode hiding the message) indicates something like "there is 
an X Windows system error returned to firstboot."
When I install a separate video card in the system, firstboot initiates OK.
Any suggestions about how to get the onboard video functional will be 
welcomed.
