I just removed the nVidia 6200 video card and replace it with an ATI Radeon 700, reinstalled Rawhide using the CD made from the same boot.iso and I did not have the problem with the login screen.
Thank you for the bug report. Has the first installation finished gracefully? Did you create a user during installation? --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Hello, I just upgraded my F11 to F12 Alpha then caught up with Rawhide and I'm now running gdm 2.27.90-2.fc12 and I'm having the same exact issue... No input box to enter a login name... If you need anything feel free to ask.
Hello Mathieu, Thank you for your time. Please do a regular boot into gdm (reproducing the problem) and attach your /var/log/messages to this bugreport. --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Hello Sergey, I attached my messages file, hope it helps...
Last night I upgraded to latest rawhide update for gdm (2.28.0-1.fc12): same thing...
I just installed Rawhide using the 09-9-25 boot.iso on three machines with Nvidia video cards (5200, 6200 and 7300) and the login text box appeared each time. As far as I'm concerned, this bug is resolved.
I believe this was an issue that was resolved in 2.28.0-2.fc12. Closing. Please reopen if it's still a problem.
Hello, In my case, all along the way, I had no text box because I had disabled it through /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list in gconf... Except in the older version of gdm, you still had a chance to type in your username even without an user list...
This bug is still present as of gdm-2.28.0-4.fc12.x86_64 My machine's desired setup has _no_ local user, all users are via NIS. And anyway, I dislike having the user list displayed. Depending on the following choices, I have different results: - A local user is configured, and /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list is not set: --> I can pick the local user --> I can also click on ``other'' and type another user name from e.g. the NIS database. - A local user is configured, however /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list is set (with gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list --type bool true) --> I see no user list. --> I have no ``other'' label to click on either. --> I see the ``suspend'',``restart'',``shutdown'' buttons (unless disabled), as well as a ``log in'' button (which obviously does not work. ==> Users cannot log in. - No local user is configured, no matter what: same as just above. Thanks, E.
I agree, that's why I had disabled it in the first place... But with the newer version of gdm, disable_user_list also means you don't get a chance to type in your user name: counter intuitive... How does one reopen a bug? It seems I can't do it...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
