I have the same problem with my x86_64 boot: on the second login I can proceed no further than entering my login name. I have a different - but possibly related - problem with my x86 boot: on the second login wdm crashes as soon as I enter the first character of my login name. X and/or wdm then restarts and I can login as normal. The following fault is logged in /var/log/messages: wdmLogin[4705]: segfault at b9 ip b7f5f203 sp bfc8d054 error 4 in libX11.so.6.2.0[b7ecf000+11d000] My other laptop, a Sony Vaio (x86), also shows the behaviour described in the previous comment; after a session has ended, attempting to start a new session immediately crashes wdm with a segfault: Oct 28 14:29:37 sphinx wdmLogin[5342]: segfault at b9 ip b7fd976e sp bf82c5a4 error 4 in libX11.so.6.2.0[b7f53000+111000] Also, on all affected systems I notice this error message repeatedly in /var/log/xdm-errors.log: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"^M after 1790 requests (1790 known processed) with 0 events remaining.^M (In reply to comment #0) I can confirm this on the following: * x86_64 * x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 * x11-misc/wdm-1.28-r1 I also do not have have the ability to enter a password for shutdown or halt. They cease to work and I'm left with console shutdown and power button press.

I am not sure what version of WDM it was running. A fix for this bug has been posted at Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472703#65 Specifically by setting the terminateServer resource in the wdm configuration file: --- wdm-config.orig 2009-10-07 19:00:10.050101124 +0100 +++ wdm-config 2010-02-02 14:07:41.468049250 +0000 @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ DisplayManager*session: /etc/X11/wdm/Xsession DisplayManager*authComplain: false DisplayManager*wdmLogin: /usr/bin/wdmLogin +DisplayManager*terminateServer: true ! ! display screen background--if not set or set to none, then the ! background is not set by wdm. This has fixed both my x86_64 and x86 boots. The fix in the previous comment works on my ppc installation as well.
