Thanks... that did indeed fix the problem, I just switched from KDM to
GDM and so far (after a thorough 2 minutes of testing) it seems to be
working.
I agree the nVidia drivers are an absolute nightmare.
About once every two or three days my computer will completely lock up
thanks to nvidia. I don't think this will ever go away, and it's quite
depressing. I use ReiserFS, which seems to lessen the impact of all the
hot-reboots. When it happens I can't even ssh or telnet into my
computer to kill it... it's a total system lock... rather depressing
when your working on an assignment or something!
Thanks for your help... good luck with your own personal nightmare!
Tom
