Created attachment 360535 [details] Smolt Profile Description of problem: When doing fast user switching, it pops up a window and the screen goes black until moving a mouse or clicking a key, which gives the initial login window and there is no second user account available to select. Unable to start new display The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.27.90-2.fc12.x86_64 gdm-user-switch-applet-2.27.90-2.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-0.3.20090908git651fe5a47.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure the 'nomodeset' in your bootloader configuration (need it for basic X operation to suceed). 2. Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a known-good configuration file that uses the 'radeon' driver 3. Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again 4. Create a second regular user account, if you do not already have one available 5. Trigger fast switching (in a default Fedora desktop, click your name at the top right hand corner, then select Switch User) Actual results: Error window pops up. Expected results: Fast user switching should work correctly, with no display issues on either desktop.

I don't think this is a driver issue, please retry with latest -ati/X server packages from rawhide. Its more likely a gdm bug.
