Short version: they worked for me for just under 1 day. After that the system won't boot--at the point the NVIDIA logo should be displayed the system hangs on a black screen, and the only thing I can do is power off.
I can start in single-user mode, supply the root password and startx as root. From the root prompt I can also start kdm. I can't login, though--I get "System is booting up -- see pam_login(8)". Since the graphics driver works for root but not for my normal user this seems like a permissions problem, but I can't understand why for almost a day I could boot the system normally and log in as a user. I've collected some logs that might help a developer; I hesitate to post them because they're REALLY long. Can someone point me to the right person to send them to, or a good place to post them?
