Re: nvidia driver overrides gdm.conf AutomaticLogin !??



Works fine here. i'm running nvidia 1.0-7174 unstable. Just for grins i'd try unsetting the autologin in the gnome login manager, hit ok. Then go back and enable it. I assumed you installed nvidia using module-assist, as I hear the nvidia installer can screw you up too.

Subject: nvidia driver overrides gdm.conf AutomaticLogin !??


Hi!

I've been searching in google and reading docs without
any result in solving this irritating problem I have.
When I replace the "nv" driver to "nvidia" driver in
xorg.conf file, nvidia seems to change or override the
gdm.conf so that each time I boot I end up in
gdmgreeter insteed of gnome desktop. I don't
understand it since AutomaticLogin is enabled in
gdm.conf. I mean, I can automatically login to gnome
sesssion with the nv driver, but now with the nvidia.
Does anyone know if this is a nvidia or gdm bug? I am
currently running debian unstable, linux kernel 2.6.12
with nvidia 1.0-7174 driver.

I hope I make sense and that it's a bug, since I've
told that nvidia per se doesn't affect gdm, since it's
only related to xorg, and goes nothing further than
that.

/Ali
