Smartcard-based (OpenPGP-card) based ssh-logins require a running gpg-agent. When both usessh=yes and usegpg=yes are set in /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession both agents (ssh-agent and gpg-agent) are started and compete with each other, thereby disabling the smartcard-based login. Suggested fix: when usegpg is set to "yes", the logic shouls be: - try to start gpg-agent - if gpg-agent is running, ignore usessh, finish - if usessh is set then try to start ssh-agent - finish
