Re: bug on fedora 17: login screen doesn't show up

[Fajrian Yunus <fajrian.yunus@xxxxxxxxx>]

bingo, i think you are right

when i started my computer with 1 monitor only, things work well.

when i started my computer with both monitors, the following things happen:
1. at 1 screen, i can see the fireworks background image without the login box
2. at the other screen, i see faintly blinking black screen (dark gray actually, but that's probably just because the monitor is cheap old monitor)

where can i log this bug?

That kind of sounds like your computer is starting up believing that
there are two monitors attached (and that login should be happening on
the *other* one), but sleep and wake properly resets the detection.

I could be completely wrong, of course, but seeing the login background
without the prompt is what happens to me when I boot my laptop attached
to the monitor but forget to have the monitor tuned to the right
input :)
