Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Rather than starting in the centre of the screen, - On Intel hardware, the cursor appears around 1/4 of the way in from the right, and 1/4 of the way up from the bottom of the screen. - On ATI and nVidia, it appears in the top-left-hand corner. Filing under X server, but might be GDM; reassign as appropriate. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.0.4-1.fc15.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.2-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always.

No longer have an ATI-based machine to hand, attaching requested info from Intel- and nVidia-based machines.
Well this is still happening in F17 under every Intel-based machine I can lay my hands on, but is this really a bug? Is this behaviour by design? (Does seem reasonably sensible to keep the cursor away from the main element of the login screen.)
The intel behaviour is what gdm intends. I believe the other two are moving their cursors around unintentionally (a side effect of output configuration).

nope, sounds right, though see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666121 So things may change upstream.
