(taken from /var/log/boot.log)

I'd like to note when I boot with plymouth and I am not exiting plymouth
with [Home] then even the screen suspends and wents off while GDM is
starting up.

I have a lot of problems with the window display managers in
Debian/testing lateley. With XDM I can't even login with any user and
all the other display managers won't execute enlightenment_start and
refuse to open a E17 session.

I did reboot but GDM won't show the banner or the background image set
in greeter.gsettings.

Thank you for your reply,

Adrian
