Description: Under KDE/KDEmod (possibly others) the kdm
login screen doesn't reappear when choosing the 'End Current
Session' option, only a black screen. The X server crashed
with this message in /var/log/kdm.log :

Black screen. The 'Ctrl Alt Backspace' key combination produces a reboot. Nothing else works. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43799 where the Arch nvidia packages are shown to cause that bug. |

But I observed today that same bug again in the installation produced by the Nvidia installer. So the Arch packages are not responsible for that bug, and the cause of it is left unknown.
As it is not an Arch bug I think it can be closed.
Thanks.
