Bug#778573: xorg: Xorg shows blank black screen at startup instead of a Display Manager.
EXCUSE ME! but I reported the problem using reportbug, which took me
through 120 or more messages saying "is this the problem" and I suddenly
saw "Xorg shows blank black screen at startup instead of a Display
Manager." which describes my problem perfectly so I said Yes - this is
the problem. And you are ?
