On the 18th I upgraded gdm3 as a normal upgrade on my motion M1400 tablet running debian testing with an i486 kernel.
Noting on another box that the new gdm3 login screen provided an onscreen keyboard (much wanted on the tablet) I decided to test the new gdm3 login on the tablet. Now booting the tablet with either of the available kernels in either graphics or recovery mode results in a completely black screen with no cursor. I'm convinced that the new gdm3 is the reason. I see on the gdm bug reports that others are having similar problems but none seem to be as drastic as mine. I have no login screen, no cursor, and cannot drop into a terminal screen. I'm therefore completely locked out of the tablet. Help would be exceedingly welcome on a route to recovering an operational system. Thanks in advance for any pointers to a solution. -- Chris Dunn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
