Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-1
Severity: important
When using gdm, my laptop shows the nvidia splashscreen for a moment
(indicating that the driver has been properly compiled and loaded) but
then the X server, after trying a couple more times, gives up. There
are no error messages in the X log files to explain the problem. I put
it down to gdm, because if I disable gdm (chmod 644) and use 'startx' to
start the X server, everything is fine. And I have just installed and
used xdm to start, and it works fine as well.

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* gdm has been superseded by gdm3 and won't be in wheezy
