Package: base
Severity: minor
I've recently installed an AGP ATI Radeon 100 graphics card to get advantage of
an high resolution console. (I believe this is relevant as the problem was
nonexistant while using the integrated Intel i810 video):
(lspci output:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02)
[...]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV100
QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
)
I used `aptitude install linux-firmware-nonfree` to fix some warnings printed
at early boot, but this problem was preexisting.
In fact, the problem manifested immediately after installing Sid via a tutorial
found on a popular Italian fansite (install stable base system, edit
sources.list, apt-get update/upgrade/install apt dpkg aptitude, aptitude
dist-upgrade).
At this moment, the system is fully upgraded as the packages available at
2013-3-15 13:00 GMT were.
After booting, the login prompt appears on an apparently random virtual console
(most often tty3). While this isn't clearly correct behavior, it does not
impair usability on a standard setup as all consoles are equal (this might not
apply if inittab is edited to use autologin, but I haven't tried this scenario
or any display manager).

Hi,
This seems to be fixed in the last versions of gdm (3.18, 3.20)
Closing this bug, feel free to reopen it if you are still experiencing it.
Cheers,
Laurent Bigonville
