[Bug 33368] Re: X freeze the computer (Dapper - glcore)

[Brian Geppert]

With a fresh install of 6.06, GDM freezes within a second or two of
opening.  Once I succeeded in typing my username and password and
logging in, only to have X freeze whilst loading the desktop.  Adding a
'sleep 5' to the GDM script does not help.  This is with the 'nv'
driver.  I have an Nvidia 5700 OC, an Athlon X2 3800+ and an Elitegroup
K8T890-A.  I experience this with both -386 and -686 kernels.

By booting in "recovery mode", I can successfully launch GDM and/or
startx from the console without freezing.  However, if I enable the
nvidia drivers, my screen immediately goes black and soon times out/goes
into power-saving mode.

I have attached my xorg.conf
