Package: gdm Version: 2.20.10-1 Severity: grave Hi,
When switching to consoles Ctrl+Alt+Fn, the display is scrambled and there is no way to read what is displayed by login or shell. It occures when consoles display is using svga and gdm is running. The displau keeps trace of what was displayed by X instead of displaying what was expected. I experiment this only with gdm running, not xdm or no dislay manager at all (eg. starting te X server from command line). I experiment this with 2 different nvidia video cards and an asus one so this problem does not seem to be bound to hardware. It may be a regression bug that had been solved in some versions of gdm: in some machine svga for consoles is enabled and I uninstalled gdm weeks ago, I don't remember I had the problem when I uuninstalled it, this is a slow machine with a small harddrive, I uninstalled gdm because I needed the room 0and xdm were sufficient.. when installing latest gdm, the problem has occured. On some other machine, on which I use gdm, I activated framebuffer days ago and I did not notice the problem until I upgraded to latest gdm. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: lang=fr...@euro, lc_ctype=fr...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf- 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session [x- 2.28.0-4 The GNOME Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x 2.28.2-1 The GNOME terminal emulator applic ii kde-window-manage 4:4.3.4-3 the KDE 4 window manager (KWin) ii konsole [x-termin 4:4.3.4-1 X terminal emulator for KDE 4 ii kterm [x-terminal 6.2.0-46 Multi-lingual terminal emulator fo ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.29.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.9.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.23.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.26.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.19.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 1.1.0-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.0-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.0-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.89-4 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.5-1 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii metacity [x-windo 1:2.28.0-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii mutter [x-window- 2.28.1~git20091208-1 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii terminal.app [x-t 0.9.4+cvs20051125-5+b1 Terminal Emulator for GNUstep ii wmaker [x-window- 0.92.0-8.1 NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X ii xfce4-session [x- 4.6.1-1 Xfce4 Session Manager ii xfwm4 [x-window-m 4.6.1-1 window manager of the Xfce project ii xterm [x-terminal 253-1 X terminal emulator Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.1-20080819-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.10-5 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii xnest 2:1.6.5-1 Nested X server ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.6.5-1 nested X server ii xserver-xorg 1:7.4+4 the X.Org X server ii zenity 2.28.0-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro Versions of packages gdm suggests: ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.28.2-1 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key ii locales 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: National Language ( ii pm-utils 1.2.6.1-3 utilities and scripts for power ma -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
