      It seems that my GDM is hosed also; I see that both gdm and lightdm are installed (per fedup); how do I make the adjustment?

      Thank you.

http://ask.systutorials.com/524/how-to-replace-gdm-with-lightdm-on-fedora

# yum install lightdm lightdm-gtk

Then, disable gdm service and make the lightdm service be started by systemd

# systemctl disable gdm.service
# systemctl enable lightdm.service

After rebooting your Fedora Linux, lightdm should be the dm.

Thank you.

This worked on my i686 Dell Inspiron 600m.

Is it then fair to assume that gdm is buggy? Both of my two other Fedora machines use gdm (x64s). Since fedup worked (for the most part) on this upgrade, should I be safe and flip to lightdm? Otherwise, I might have the same problem - no login screen indicating a buggy gdm.

Thank you again.
