System hangs in gdm splash screen

[snowman]

Should be something like

apt-get install xdm

and afterwards according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121656

place /usr/bin/xdm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager

Another way could be to remove gdm (this is what I did), but I'm not sure if the rest of gnome is depending on gdm. I'm using KDE...

Hi all,
IEGD drivers were updated to last version 10.3.1. Please update the system. Hope it will help.

Hi Denis, just saw the update from the fit-pc repository and updated.
Could you please update what's new and what bug fixes does this new driver provide? On a quite different subject, why isn't the fit-pc repository authenticated?

Thanks for making the new IEGD packages. It has sped up firefox scrolling and also removed the black artefacts. However mplayer-vaapi needs to be updated as well
to link to the new libraries. In particular it fails to run since the files
libva-x11-0.31.0.4.so.1
libva-glx-0.31.0.4.so.1
libva-0.31.0.4.so.1
are no longer present. I did a ln -s to the version 0.31.0.6 versions to this, but is is probably not as clean as one would like.
