Description Forgotten User egDjy87GPQ 2007-12-07 09:39:21 UTC 
Since latest update, sometimes, my logon screen is blocking before viewing username/password (always the grey screen)

I'm not alone on my company !

Which displaymanager are you using? kdm or gdm? Check /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager --> DISPLAYMANAGER.
Comment 2 Forgotten User egDjy87GPQ 2007-12-07 14:26:50 UTC 
I use Gnome only (the other guy also)

This is only at boot.
Some case when I boot with my USB mouse plugged (but not always)

My video card is ATI HD 2400 XT

So it's likely gdm.

My colleague come back to xorg-x11 7.2.135-2 in place of xorg-x11 7.2.135-4
and all works fine.

By "blocking" do you mean there is a delay before gdm shows up?  It looks like you are using aiglx and the proprietary 3D driver (and compiz I presume?).  Does disabling those options prevent the timeout?
Comment 7 Forgotten User egDjy87GPQ 2007-12-12 20:45:15 UTC 
Yes, I use aiglx, ATI proprietary 3D driver (not the latest for my, but with the latest driver for my colleague) and compiz-fusion.

The "blocking" isn't a delay, the circle gnome logo is blocked, the keyboard is also blocked. 
I don't see the logo SuSE on top left neither the little window terminal in the bottom left. (grey background).

The only way is to make a power off.

I come back to xorg-x11-7.2.135-2 and all works fine now.
Comment 8 Christian Boltz 2007-12-13 19:14:17 UTC 
I also had the keyboard blocked at login (KDM in my case) and could not enter the password. However, I found a workaround: switching to tty1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and then back to X (Ctrl-Alt-F7) makes the keyboard working. It also _seems_ (not 100% sure) to work if I wait some seconds before typing the password. Do these methods work with GDM also or did I hit a different bug?

Info provided.
Comment 10 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-02 12:56:18 UTC 
This looks like compiz running from /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup, try Ctrl-Alt-F1, killall compiz and Ctrl-Alt-F7.

Best to remove compiz from there.
Comment 11 JP Rosevear 2008-05-02 13:08:05 UTC 
The statement in on factory for Xsetup is:

# Compiz

    if test "$gdm" = "yes" ; then
        # when running glxinfo with fglrx driver the first time it                                                                                                             
        # hangs forever (Bug #345035)                                                                                                                                          
        $glxinfo &> /dev/null &
        sleep 1; kill -9 $!
        if $glxinfo | grep -q GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap ; then
            $compiz --sm-disable decoration fade place &
            if test -x $gwd ; then
                $gwd --minimal &

Stefan, I assume perhaps this is a duplicate then?
Comment 12 Stefan Dirsch 2008-05-02 14:21:24 UTC 
Yes, this is a duplicate of Bug #345035. Workarounded as seen in comment #11 for openSUSE 11.0 and also fixed since fglrx Catalyst 8.2 driver.
