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 ?

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 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.
