Hello Andreas,

yes, indeed, that worked!

I'm back in the old-style boot and logon.

Many thanks!

greetings, James

Hi Johan,
1. look for  this 2 words: "rhgb quiet" in in "/boot/grub/grub.conf and remove them
2. sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true

Hope this helps  

Gruß
Andreas Reschke
