Fedora has nothing to do with this. If you read the bug report, the same issue has hit Debian and basically all distributions that use GDM. Ubuntu evaded the issue by switching their default display manager away from GDM. And so on... Just switch the display manager to KDM, lightdm, LXDM, or xdm, and you're good. ;-) HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
