[Bug 573756] [NEW] login screen does not show

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

On top of server edition I installed package gnome-core. After issuing "service gdm start" login screen does not start, just blank screen.
If I create file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with text:

## /etc/X11/xorg.conf ##
