 * '''Packages affected''': gdm, kdm

== Summary ==

Change the X display manager such that the flip from the usplash VT to the X VT is not performed until the login screen is ready.

== Rationale ==



== Use cases ==

== Scope ==

== Design ==

== Implementation ==

=== Code ===

=== Data preservation and migration ===

== Unresolved issues ==

 * X saves the existing mode and uses that when returning to text consoles. If the console is still in a graphical mode when X is started, it will return to a graphical mode when the user presses ctrl+alt+F1. This will prevent the text consoles from working.

== BoF agenda and discussion ==
