Bug#990114: GDM fails to start when GPU initialization takes too long

[Patrick Ammann]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.38.2.1-1

For several months i have an issue when booting up my machine. I am
running into a black screen.

Workaround: Toggle with Ctrl+Alt+F1 / F2.


Other distros are affected also. E.g. see:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64985

Upstream (still open):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/103

Patch applied by archlinux:
https://gitlab.com/intgr/arch-pkg-gdm/-/commit/b1f96ef17c1d03a7764d244120fb8f15f95951cd

Gentoo had this patch (they recently updated to gdm to version 40.0x and
dropped this):

<https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit?id=85ea6bed8c994eae9891af1a2fba0e99aa1c3031>



Please apply this patch to gdm until upgrading to a more recent version,
which has fixed this....


Thanks,
