Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.9-1
Severity: important
Hello,
after upgrading to the latest xorg version in unstable gdm no longer starts and the last line in Xorg.0.log is the following:
(II) Initializing extension GLX
Graphics card (lspci):
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1)
I first thought this is a nVidia issue (btw I'm using nVidia proprietary driver) but then I noticed that startx starts X fine and everything works as before xorg upgrade. Only gdm fails to start X.
Regards,
Juha
