Hi,
The root cause is our previous VBIOS take too much time to read EDID and cause
GDM time out. We had fixed it in VBIOS in v.89. If anyone doesn't like to
update the VBIOS, use xdm instead or extend the GdmXserverTimeout in gdm.conf
are the other options. I'm so appreciate if Ubuntu members can agree to modify
the default settings of GdmXserverTimeout above than 15 in later release
becasue the ASPEED's users use the previous VBIOS will not meet this issue.
Here are the parts of the syslog when gdm failed:
