    My boot screen wont Show up?! :)

    My boot screen has not liked me for a couple days now. What I mean by this is that when loading FC6, the boot screen that I put in my username/PW does not show up...BUT, I can still put in the username and password, blindly. Any reasons why this might have happened, things I can do to fix it?

    Thanks

    Check your kdm or gdm themes and settings

    For gdm:

    su
    gdmsetup

    For kdm:
    Look in KDE control center

    ok, I did check out my settings and I re-selected the boot screen and logged off, but still no boot screen . I did recently make changes to the x11 conf., but erased all the changes I made after. Would that have done anything? Thanks for your help so far

    well I did add this:
    Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
    Load "dri"
    Load "extmod"
    EndSection

    and

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "TRUE"
    EndSection

    Erased that and this is what my xorg.conf looks like now:


    # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "single head configuration"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "vesa"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Videocard0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection

    Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite"
    EndSection

    Section "DRI"
    Group 0
    Mode 0666
    EndSection

    Anything stand out as odd to anyone? Should I add something to fix my problem?
