I just remembered that this machine has a nVidia video card and I haven't installed the nVidia divers (jet). Perhaps that is the problem? and not TDE? I'll try and report baack
I have the latest nvidia drivers installed, but also a scrambled background.

But no black screen after logout? (the scrambled backround is minor. But the black screen and having to restart kdm-trinrity is really a problem for endusers. Will most possibly end with resets instead of reboot/restart kdm-t)
Just tried it: "Trinity is saving ...", then black screen with mouse pointer for ~ 3 secomds, than no video signal for ~ 3 seconds, than kdm login screen with scrambled background again.
I solved the scrambled screen issue here.
I noticed that I get the scrambled screen after nstalling 'desktop-base-trinity'. During the install of the desktop-base-trinity package I noticed a couple of things as part of the post install routine.
1. 'update-alternatives' is called for 'desktop--splash' and 'desktop-grub'. 2. update-initramfs is also called, not sure what is happening there.
There seems to be an issue with /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/xxx', /usr/share/image/desktop-base/xxx', and the above two items.
I did a 'update-alternatives --config desktop-background' selected 'nightly' as my background and know have a nice, login screen. The 'nightly' images do no get added to '/etc/alternatives/desktop-splash', not sure how to add them.
This makes me wonder about my other vbox installs, where I have a solid black background. The nightly background is realy nice, is it the default TDE background ?
