must rmmod nvidia & modprobe nvidia to start X

[Zach]

Hi,

I have a problem where X won't start at boot.  If I log into a
terminal, and rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia, then X will run fine.
As a hack, i have this added to the gdm init script.  This is working,
but I'd like to solve the problem.

I have run across people on IRC as well as on forums who have this
similar problem, but I haven't seen any hint as to its cause or how to
actually fix it.

I am using the nvidia restricted drivers and Ubuntu 7.10.

Thanks for any help.
