After changing screens from a CRT (1280x1024) to an SGI 1600SW (1600x1024) (hooray for ebay) I got something simialr - the gdm screen was blank, but the mouse pointer was there. I didn't see any garbage at the bottom, though. I changed resoultions to 800x600 and progressed bac to 1600x1024 and the problem seem to have resolved itself. Philip: if you saw a (graphic) mouse pointer and nothing more, it is a different problem. I was talking about an empty dialog, i.e. a cyan rectangle with some "garbage buttons" at the bottom. And in text mode. Probably some UTF-8 mess In severn, the dialogs are quite readable. None of dialog, gdialog and whiptail are able to display perfect dialog windows in UTF-8, but that's for separate bug reports. Still unfixed is the missing dependency of gdm on /bin/gettext. In upstream 2.4.1.5 the dependency is fixed by just not using gettext if it isn't found. In the devel version I have a separate utility to do translations rather then rely on gettext. This can be fixed in older versions by just taking the XKeepsFailing script from the 2.4.1.5 version. We upgraded to the gnome 2.4 gdm, so I assume (since george said so) that this is fixed now. |
