Description James.Dutton 2014-03-04 08:56:59 UTC
Created attachment 95075 [details]
Screen grab using: chvt 7; sleep 10; XAUTHORITY=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-lF12J9/database DISPLAY=:0.0 import -window root t7.png

The gdm login screen is corrupted on first boot.
If you log in, then log out the screen is fine.

possible fix

Does this kernel patch help?
Comment 10 James.Dutton 2014-03-04 18:27:07 UTC
patch 95104 does not fix the problem.
I applied it to kernel 3.13.5

It appears to display some extra artifacts during boot, but the login screen is the same.

JCD patch.

This is the same as the suggested patch, just with a few extra debug text output.
