Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 173.14.09-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, After installing nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source my X does not start
when Xorg.conf tells it to use the nvidia driver.
When I start gdm the nvidia logo is displayed and then I get a textmode blank
display with a cursor in top left hand corner.
When I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log there are no (EE) lines except relating to
amissing font dir. This error message is present when I start X fine with the
nv driver. The backtrace at the bottom of Xorg.0.log is missing when X does not
start up. However, I noticed that when I type in dmesg I get a new line every
time X attempts to start:
Xorg[5210]: segfault at fffffffc ip b7fb99de sp bffc6f08 error 4 in
ld-2.7.so[b7fac000+1a000]
The only thing that changes is what I guess is the PID eg 5120.
X starts up if I change the driver to the nv (open source?) one. This sucks
because after a period of use X slows to a crawl with the nv driver and I
cannot play video files at all.
The video card details are below. It is a Dell XPS 1330 laptop.

I'm closing this report and its duplicates now:
* gdm has been superseded by gdm3 and won't be in wheezy
* for squeeze, this bug has been documented
