          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

         Component: gdm

I'm really unsure where to file this bug, basically, I'm using ati (firegl in a
T42p).  I use gdm to login.  If I login, then quickly switch to vf1 (for
instance to login as root and check some network settings while gnome is
starting up).  If I then swithc back to vt7 (i.e. X), I see my X session, but
then it quickly dies and gdm restarts (now on vt8 as I'm occupying vt7 with my
blank screen).

unsure where the bug is, but it's existed for a while.
