I'm having similar problems after a recent update. It may be related to
a recent xorg fix that caused other crashes.

This is not an Nvidia specific problem from reading other threads and
questions it appears to be a 3d screensaver problem with gdm. I have a
Intel based graphics card on a dell laptop on Gutsy and if gone-
screensaver starts a 3d saver then gdm or X re-starts as if I'd crtl-
alt-backspace'd the

Success! Reinstalling the Nvidia drivers solves the problems.

I was running Ubuntu 6.06LTS with the nvidia driver
from their package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9629-pkg1.run.
Xorg 7.0.0 crashed whenever OpenGL was used (e.g. glxgears, glxinfo).
Replacing the driver nvidia with nv in /etc/xorg.conf
fixed the crashes (but of course removed hardware accelerated
From a look through the forums, it looks like whenever gdm starts up, X
crashes and the user is back to the GUI login window. A reinstall fixed
the problem, so an update to gnome-screensaver is suspect.
One user seems to have connected the bug to running 3d screensavers.
Can anybody duplicate

Here's my speculation:
I suspect that newer 3D imaging software/drivers have issues with an

interested.)
Sorry for any confusion.

Wilsonag from the forums suggests that reinstalling the nvidia driver
fixes things, since any OpenGL activity crashes X. He suggests testing
with glxgears.
Could you please let us know if that crashes things? If that does, this
would be more likely an nvidia driver error and will be reassigned.
