This morning my F9 box gets to the login screen, then I get a white box on a black background. The white box disappears and I'm left with a black screen. It seems that things carry on in the background, as, after a while, I get the chimes that signal that the system is ready to go. I've checked that it isn't the kernel that's the problem - it happens on both kernels. The session menu at login doesn't show any other dm, so I thought I must have forgotten to install an extra one. I went into failsafe mode and first tried for updates, to be told that there are none. I then tried to install gnome-desktop, figuring that it would pick up the necessaries from there. It says that gnome-desktop is already installed. At this point I'm at a loss to know what's next. Advice?
