Bug Description
The XDMCP server in GDM does not work/work reliably. When connecting to this server a black screen is shown.
To enable the XDMCP server edit /etc/gdm/
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
This bug affects Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). It is fixed in 11.04 (Natty) which uses GDM 2.32.0.
A patched GDM by Tom Ellis works better (read comments at the bottom of this bug report for details).

(note, this bug used to refer to the lack of an option in the GDM login screen (greeter) to log into remote systems using XDMCP. This is now being tracked in bug 689988).
