Bug#797999: sddm fails to start whereas kdm works correctly
Package: sddm
Version: 0.13.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #797999
Dear Maintainer,
I can confirm this, too.
It maybe, SDDM might work bad with nvidia. I am running testing/amd64, the
nvidia proprietrary drivers are installed by the installer from nvidia. As my
card is no more supperted by the debian packages (GeForce 8600M GS), I had to
do that way.
When sddm is started, I get a dark screen (looks like the X-Server is started,
but sddm shows no graphics).
The process sddm is running and can be killed by using killall sddm.
At the moment I reverted back to kdm, which is still working like a charm.
Hope this helps a little bit.
Best regards
Hans-J. Ullrich
