Hi, hope its not too bad form to report issues on masked gdm-2.26.1 without a patch! Trying to login as another user (new gdm session) with gdm-2.26.1 doesn't work or give visible errors To reproduce: 1) login to X via gdm 2) lock screen 3) click "Switch User" on the screen locked dialog (part of gnome-screensaver I assume). 4) screen flickers then just black 5) press any key or move mouse and back to unloack dialog. This works ok in gdm-2.20.9-r1. I investigated further and found lots of Xorg.?.log files in /var/log with contents like the following: (WW) xf86AcquireGART: AGPIOC_ACQUIRE failed (Device or resource busy) (EE) GARTInit: AGPIOC_INFO failed (Operation not permitted) (EE) intel(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available for allocation.

Created attachment 203432 [details] Xorg.8.log Here is one of the Xorg log files.
Created attachment 203434 [details] Xorg.20.log Here's a log file when doing to same procedure with gdm-2.20. No errors about AGP here.
Honestly, I have no idea how this could happen. Let's just assume for now that the bug is indeed an Intel bug. Please file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla [1] and paste the url here so we can track the issue. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
Given that it works with gdm-2.20, I assumed it wasn't an intel bug. But I'll try to test with vesa drivers in an xorg.conf and then report upstream if it really is intel specific. Might take me a while to get around to it though!
Hi, not this is not an intel bug. It's the Patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261339, which forces every Xorg instance to vt7. Watch out for "using VT number 7" at the beginning of every Xorg.*.log. Just use >=gdm-2.26 w/o this patch (http://svn.xmw.de/gentoo-overlay/) and try to get X to use vt7 and above with the "method" of runlevel a (see /etc/init.d/xdm and /etc/inittab) or live with first X at vt2.

Reopening since the information has been provided.
There is a patch for this in the gnome overlay now, it will be added to the tree after some more testing.

Is this still valid with 3.2.1.1-r1?
(In reply to comment #9) > Is this still valid with 3.2.1.1-r1? # GDM grabs VT2 instead of VT7, bug 261339, bug 284053, bug 288852 epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.32.0-fix-vt-problems.patch" It should as I can see in ebuild
