Package: sddm Version: 0.13.0-1 Followup-For: Bug #797999 Dear Maintainer,
I can confirm this, too. It maybe, SDDM might work bad with nvidia. I am running testing/amd64, the nvidia proprietrary drivers are installed by the installer from nvidia. As my card is no more supperted by the debian packages (GeForce 8600M GS), I had to do that way. When sddm is started, I get a dark screen (looks like the X-Server is started, but sddm shows no graphics). The process sddm is running and can be killed by using killall sddm. At the moment I reverted back to kdm, which is still working like a charm. Hope this helps a little bit. Best regards Hans-J.
