I did some more experiments on my system, and it appears to be gdm that is screwed up. When I switch to kdm, all my problems with X session weirdness go away.
With gdm, I saw two completely separate X sessions running in a 'ps'. One as user 42 (gdm) was running on vt1 and the other as my login user was running on vt2. I'm guessing the black screen is vt1 showing me nothing, and when I Ctrl-Alt-F2 I get the session running as me. I have no clue why gdm is doing this, but my plan is to stick with kdm (which I always switch to for other reasons anyway, like being able to turn off the nolisten tcp option). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
