I seem to have this all the time, even right after booting, although... I have 3 displays, and 2 ports on my GPU, so I often switch them, after doing so, I copy the relevant xorg.conf to it's proper location, and restart gdm. In doing so, I only log in into the first console, using ctrl+alt+F1, do the copy and /etc/init.d/gdm restart, at this point x is running in VT8, not 7. Up till this point, I haven't logged in to gnome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
