openSUSE 11.3 RC1 login issue

Hi:

Upgraded my 11.2 system to 11.3 today. Can’t login anymore using gdm or xdm login window. The password prompt is displayed but no chars are echoed in the password field. when you click Login, it displays “Authentication failure” in the window.

The logged messages in the /var/log/messages for the gdm-greeter are:

gdm-simple-greeter: GLib-GObject-WARNING: gsignal.c:2273: signal ‘dialog-hidden’ is invalid for instance ‘0x81299b8’

gdm-simple-greeter: Gtk-WARNING: gtkwidget.c:5628: widget not within a GtkWindow

gdm-session-worker: gkr-pam: couldn’t get the password from user: Conversation error

gdm-session-worker: pam_unix2(gdm:auth): conversation failed

Note that I can login at init level 3 as root of the user I"m attempting to login with in the gdm window.

Any idea wtf is going on?

thx.

Fixed.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Added the following to the ServerFlags section:

AllowEmtpyInput “off”

The server defaults this if not specified to “on” which disabled the keyboard and touchpad. Not nice of it.
