Package: gdm3
Version: 3.14.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am running Debian Jessie on a Lenovo T540p, with external screen and Lenovo
docking station.
When the OS starts, I cannot see GDM prompt on my laptop screen (I can see the
gray background on the external screen), the laptop screen is completely black.
When switching ttys (tty7 -> tty1, then tty1 -> tty7), I can see the login
screen and log in my Gnome environment.
This appears at every boot.
