Bug#672980: gdm3: relogin after logout not possible - displays go into standby (very large 2x 24")

[Joachim Schmidt]

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-6squeeze4
Severity: normal

I use ATI grafik with 2 Displays. If I try to login as other user  that is not
possible. Login works but after that the displays go into standby mode. Using
console I can restart gdm3, but the same appears. I have to reboot.
