Comment 7 for bug 297927

This appears to have been fixed in the Ubuntu 9.04 Beta release - that worked fine on both the Jetway systems I have. Also an unreported problem in which the systems didn't start with consistent screen resolutions seems to have gone away.

I'm not sure that this was actually the same as the 'duplicate' bug - this one seems to have been dependent on the particular hardware, including the motherboard and CPU. What is the same is that changing the priority of starting gdm was a factor in the 8.x releases.
