Re: nvidia driver overrides gdm.conf AutomaticLogin !??
Hi Mike,
you assumed right, I did actually use module-assist
and everything works fine except this gdm auto-login.
I did what you said, and it didn't work after reboot.
But the interesting part is when I quick boot with the
"shutdown -f now" command, autologin seems to be
working. And this makes me wonder if it can be the
nvidia-kernel or something like that, which is causing
this auto-login failure. Any ideas??
