Netinst Wheezy with linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 Problem: On initial bootup there is a message that gdm3 is not fully installed, probably a hardware problem. (The Gigabyte mb has onboard video AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics)
Problem: Despite bootup message classic gnome display appears and works but switching to terminals fails (Ctl-Alt-F1 results in the screen going blank, then No Signal) Problem: Returning to desktop (Ctl-Alt-F7 works but with a split screen wrapped around the center.) Problem: If /etc/X11/default-display-manager is edited to set /usr/sbin/xdm and the system is rebooted, terminals tty1-6 are available by Ctl-Alt-F1, etc but there is no xwindow (F7). Problem: /etc/init.d/xdm restart respond xdm is not the display manager although default-display-manager is still /usr/sbin/xdm. Problem: xstart starts gdm3 and gnome. The tty terminals fail and we're back to square one. Comment: gdm3 and classic gnome work ok on my other Wheezy computer but not that great. I would be quite content with xdm and icewm if I could have both the desktop and the tty terminals. Note: I have tried many variations. The above list of problems is a short list. I have tried to capture the essence of the difficulties. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
