Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Hi all,
Many a times, after gdm login, the screen goes blank and never returns. This happens more so in 2.6.20-15 rather than 2.6.20-12 where the screen goes momentarily blank. Usually this is the workaround I follow in order to recover when it doesn't show anything on screen. :-
1. using 2.6.20-15 after login blank screen (black screen)
2. Do ALT+SYSRQ+ s then u then b for reboot
3. This time use 2.6.20-12
4. After GDM login , the screen goes blank (black) momentarily and then comes back.
5. Do some work, shutdown
6. Now choose 2.6.20-15
7. This time after GDM login , there would be blank (black) screen for a moment but then things would come back.
