Bug#731508: XDM - fails to return via login after the screensaver operates
Hi,
I'm providing an update to the bug report as I seem to have a
similar bug. I am running testing (jessie) on amd64 with a
HD7970 graphics card and debian's fglrx code was working.
I was running gdm3 and did an upgrade to vlc, then upgraded
the installation via apt-get dist-upgrade. On re-booting,
a black blank screen presented, and I used the termnal console
to remove gdm3 and install xdm.
on rebooting, xdm offered the usual greeting panel and login
proceeded as normal. (there are a couple of bugs that I will
report separately)
When the session is idle the screen blanks. On resumption, the
login presents as a white rectangle with password entry field,
and two buttons "switch user" and "login"?
No matter what password is entered, the login always fails.
