From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: Unsure if this is directly related to GDM -- please move as appropriate. I have a dual-CPU AMD Athlon system with 1Gb of memory and an ASUS V7100 (NVidia GeForce-2 MX based) video card and a ViewSonic VA720 monitor. I am running a very recent version of the NVidia display driver from their website. The system appears to work with two major exceptions. The first is that the system doesn't poweroff when shutdown (bug filed elsewhere). The second is the preferred screen resolution "hangs over" into the logout. On my system, I have two accounts. One prefers a screen resolution of 1280x1024 while the other prefers a resolution of 1024x768. The standard resolution for the system is 1280x1024. When I log out of the second account, the login screen fails to reset the screen to 1280x1024, but it believes that is the resolution, so part of the login screen is off the monitor. If I login to the first account, the screen is properly reset and everything returns to normal until I login to the second account again. I believe this problem was also true in FC1 with the latest NVidia driver (at that time). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0.0-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure users with different preferred screen resolutions. 2.Login to the first user and see if the resolution is proper. 3.Login to other users and see if the resolution changes appropriately. Actual Results: Login screen is not set to proper resolution between logins. Expected Results: Login screen should always look good for the screen. Additional info: This may be an NVidia driver problem. Perhaps it is not resetting properly or perhaps FC2 is not telling it to reset properly.
