When no one's watching over your shoulder, type your password into the username field to double-check that they keys are producing the correct characters. I suspect that maybe gdm is looking at a slightly different keyboard mapping than the console is.Today I restarted X after several months and as soon as I enter a user name I get an 'authentication failed' error box so I can't log into X. This is before it asks for a password. I can login to a regular console fine. I get the same message when I select the 'configure' option from the menu. I am running testing and have installed all the curently available packages in sarge. HELP!
