On gdm3 start, or restart, only a black screen is displayed with an X shaped X cursor with the cursor moveable. If I try to change to a console VT then this appears to trigger a new X session to start and this is displayed rather than the console VT. This new X session is also black with an X shaped X cursor with the cursor moveable. This keeps happening until eventually I can switch to a console VT. (#592549).
State of other display managers, mainly collected from BTS. * xdm: seems be fine * gdm on initial start at bootup does not allow keyboard input (#586539) * kdm on initial start at bootup does not allow keyboard input (#586540) When the start of gdm/kdm is not during boot, it works fine, sort of race condition on boot between getty on vt2 and gdm/kdm on vt2. * slim just shows a black screen (#586593) Wrong usage of vfork, with fork() works (tested on non-bootup) fine.
