Hmmmm...looking thru this thread, seems to be something different in
two different graphics drivers and gdm.
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
Here I get non-working gdm (just blank entry fields). Sometime it worked
(loged in blind), then not at all.
Lately (last xorg-x11-drv-i810?) the Gnome desktop hangs completely after
NetworkManager spins for a few rounds tring to get the WiFi network. Then
the CapsLock light blinks, and nothing works anymore.
What is common here? Where
to bz? For ati, the mach64 and r128 support was broken out into two
separate drivers recently. Seems an avenue to explore when time
permits.
