Hello,

In UEFI-SLES12, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu can’t be shown normally.

※Duplicate step:

  1. Boot from UEFI-SLES12 CD to install UEFI-SLES 12 OS.
  2. After finishing the installation and first time enter the X winodw, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu are normal.
  3. Reboot the system to enter X window again, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu can’t be shown normally.
  4. After changing the resolution to another setting and changing back to original setting, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu are normal.
  5. Reboot the system to enter X window again, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu are still normal.
  6. Power off the system.
  7. Boot the system to enter X window again, the “Applications” and “Power off” pop-up menu can’t be shown normally.

※Note:

  1. There is not such problem in Leagcy-SLES12.
  2. This issue also happen with other graphics card.(ASUS P8B75-M iGPU and NV PCX6200LE add-on card.)
  3. This issue will disappear after switching resolutions, but this issue re-happen in every cold boot in UEFI mode.
  4. This issue will disappear after changing display manager from gdm to kdm.

Could someone can provide any advice?
Thank you very much!!
