I'm trying to figure out why the graphical login prompt won't show up at the login page. I see the wallpaper just fine, but the graphical login prompt won't show up no matter how long I wait.
So, In the console, I've done init 3 to shut down gdm and then restarted it with init 5. The problem still persists.
I downloaded and installed kdm and set it as the default display manager through editing /etc/systemconfig/displaymanager. It worked fine, except that the main menu and many other items in the panels are gone. So I removed gdm with zypper and then reinstalled it again. I set the gdm as the default display manager and restarted gdm. The same problem shows up again. So I tried to bypass the login page entirely by enabling autologin. I put my username in the autologin section of /etc/systemconfig/displaymanager and restarted gdm. No go, I still get the same problem.
I'm thinking it mightn't be gdm related and that something else is interfering with gdm startup, but I'm stumped at this point. Any ideas?
gnome opensuse gdm

Could you supply yourpstreeor, better,ps axjf, so that we could find out at least which part of gdm is stuck, (simple-slave, session worker, greeter)?

(just to make sure) do you an external display connected ? In my setup I don't see the login prompt until I move the mouse to the 2nd display.

Try this:cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
That should tell what your DISPLAYMANAGER and DESKTOP are set to. This file is used by /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients to determine which desktop to start.
