Yay, gdm is working now! ;-) Thanks Walter...
It's a simple issue of /etc/shadow having no password for the gdm account ("!"
character) - which somehow was the setting for OpenSuSE 11.4 (maybe default of
11.4 or earlier). gdm/OS12.1 isn't working with this setting.
With a fresh OpenSuSE 12.1 installation, gdm account is blocked ("*"
character). Exchanging "!" for "*" makes gdm work:
/etc/shadow diff:
-gdm:!:13280:0:99999:7:::
+gdm:*:13280:0:99999:7:::
I guess the setting should have been changed automatically when updating to
OpenSuSE 12.1?
