From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: When I log out of a GNOME session, I get a blank screen with only the cross cursor in it. After that everything hangs. I can however do CTRL-ALT-BS, and gdm restarts properly. I am using the NVIDIA driver 4496. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.4.4.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login GNOME session 2. Log out the normal way Additional info:
I experienced the same problem, with NVidia cards, but only with Xinerama enabled. The same problem as described above happens with XFree's default driver and NVidia's one. The only way I found to unlock the machine is to ssh from another machine and reboot. Note that the problem happens (on my machine) : - Only when logging out from KDE or Gnome. Killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace returns correctly to GDM. Lauching a "terminal only" session and logging out from the terminal also works well (as long as Gnome or KDE isn't launched from the terminal). - Only when using Xinerama. I have three displays, and everything works very well as long as Xinerama is disabled (three distinct displays). - With GDM and KDM as well. - With XFree's default driver and NVidia's one as well. Here is my configuration : AGP NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX PCI NVIDIA TNT2 (1) PCI NVIDIA TNT2 (2) Intel Celeron on MSI motherboard
