Comment 3 for bug 553200

Having the same problem with Lucid Beta 1 using nvidia v96 driver.

The only way I can start x and boot to gnome desktop is to bypass gdm altogether.

Clearly it has sometjhing to do with the way gdm interacts with said nvidia graphics.

I have been testing Lucid since Alpha 3 and this only started happening after updates on April 1st.

Incidentally, I have another box using the same graphics card but no proprietory drivers installed. Using the default Nouveau driver, I have no problems with gdm login.
