Description Yann Droneaud 2013-12-26 22:56:57 UTC
I'm using Fedora 20 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220.

After installing updates for Fedora 20 and rebooting, I'm now facing a fixed console display while I would expect a GDM login screen.

GDM is started and Xorg server is running and alive: according to server log, it detects VT switch and handle it (I have to hit CTRL+ALT-F2 to exit from the first console, while I have to hit CTRL-F1 to go back to the console used by X / GDM). But the first virtual console which is devoted to X only show the boot messages and don't support any interaction (mouse, keyboard).

I have tested with kernel option i915.modeset=1 added on command line through grub without any change on the behavor.

After downgrading libevdev (from -testing), graphical login screen is shown on the computer.

libevdev-0.6-1.fc20.x86_64 was installed from testing repo, downgrading to libevdev-0.5-1.fc20.x86_64 fix my problem.
