(Also I guess this could be reassigned to xdm, but let's wait to see if it's fixed) Best Regards, -- Julien Viard de Galbert http://silicone.homelinux.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

> I use xrandr -o left in my .xsession so that I can use my screen in > portrait mode. I'm now achieving the equivalent effect by adding Option "Rotate" "left" to Section "Monitor" of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which avoids the font problems I had with xrandr -o left) and now find that xdm always hangs after I log out (where, previously, it only used to hang if I ran xrandr -o -left in my user session). When the X session is hanging, after I've logged out, I find that /etc/init.d/xdm stop fails, claiming that the xdm.pid file doesn't exist, even though ps reports that the xdm process is still running. I notice that xmd has two child processes: USER PID PPIDSZVSZ RSZ NI CMD root 17331 1 1399 5596 940 0 /usr/bin/xdm root 20618 17331 6763 27052 15008 0 /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-chlHyX root 20622 17331 2104 8416 5236 0 -:0 When logging out has hung the X session, killing the last (which has a symlink to /usr/bin/xdm as its /proc/20622/exe) causes xdm to exit; whereas killing the /usr/bin/X process persuades the xdm process to start a new X login prompt, which works as usual.

Bug#555647: x11-xserver-utils: xrandr -o left leaves xdm, after I logout, unresponsive, with no login prompt
Package: x11-xserver-utils Version: 7.4+2 Severity: normal I use xrandr -o left in my .xsession so that I can use my screen in portrait mode. However, after a recent upgrade, I find that when I log out (exit fvwm) I don't get the xdm login prompt I'm expecting. I have to restart xdm. Previously, when I logged out, xdm's login prompt was correctly oriented for the portrait mode in which I was using the screen - which was potentially an issue, since a feature of my session survived to affect whoever might log in after me. However, this worked nicely for me; in particular, it facilitated a work-around for a problem with the fonts used in portrait mode, the first time I logged in; logging out and back in fixed it. I can no longer do that. Tell me what I need to log to help diagnose the problem ... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages x11-xserver-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.3-9+nmu1 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.10.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm62:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.5-1 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi62:1.2.1-2 X11 Input extension library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 2:1.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrandr22:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt61:1.0.6-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxtrap6 2:1.0.0-5 X11 event trapping extension libra ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii x11-common1:7.4+4X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-xserver-utils recommends no packages.
