[opensuse-factory] Screen data displayed between login dialogue and splash screen
HI Is anyone else getting random screen data briefly splashed on the screen between the login dialogue box closing and the startup splash being shown? This also happens quite a lot between logout pressed and redisplay of login dialogue box. It looks like a bit of old screen memory being displayed. If this can be eradicated, it would make opensuse a lot more professional in its presentation to the user. I would report it as a bug but not sure where to assign it. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It was mentioned in a forum thread recently. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I see this too while using a Nvidia dual head G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1) with the nouveau driver.

Maybe even worse and the display shows some data while login if there was another user active before?
I would report it as a bug but not sure where to assign it.

Maybe those having an eye on the web based forum can add references of the forum thread to bugzilla and vice versa.

I have the feeling that it is the same issue. I think the images are stored in the video card memory, and somehow they are not erased. I have the vague recollection that this ram can survive a reboot, maybe even a power off.

Yes, I know. You should add links there to both this thread and the forum thread. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I suppose Carlos used the Bugzilla search. If so, I'm not surprised he didn't find your bug report.
