Is this actually the same issue as you posted before in the thread
"Control-Alt-F1 through Ctl-Alt=F8 no longer works for a specific
logon."?
Also, your use of the term "logon" seriously confuses me. Seems you are
using it to refer to actually different things.
The result is a permenant error where any return from invoking a
session via ctl-alt-f1 results in a black screen.
Control-alt-backspace does not clear the error. The error is actually
permenant. One is obliged to reboot the system in order to have the
logon screen.
"Black screen" sounds about right to me, if there is a text based login.
Since I don't expect X running on console 1, I don't expect
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to work either.
Did you even try to switch back to the default X instead of rebooting
the machine? Ctrl-Alt-F7...
If one then toggles between ctl-alt-f1 and back, for this particular
logon, the black screen of death is there. What I can tell you is that
the prompt is presented, but nothing is seen (blanked screen). Sound
that was set to indicate logon prompt is available plays, but
absolutely no display.
"Prompt"? As in the "shell prompt", or a virtual console login?
If I understand your description correctly, you are expecting a GDM
login. However, that is not the default on any Linux distro I have seen
so far. The typical default is to provide 6 virtual consoles (gettys)
and a single GDM.
Also, if switching virtual consoles is broken, or a particular console
doesn't work as expected, I fail to see how this would be a GNOME issue.
When you switch to console 1, you can not switch back? Smells like a
system issue to me. (hint: /etc/inittab)
