I tried following your instructions but: after typing sudo startx -- -logverbose 5, the server didn't fail. Instead the desktop switched to a new user with the default desktop background and a new panel, and I no longer had the command line.
Also, just so I understand, the first thing I did was use gedit to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I changed the device identifier from "configured device" to" nvidia" in the Device Section was that correct? Next, from the command line I typed sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, and then got confirmation that gnome was stopped. Then as I stated above after typing sudo startx -- -logverbose 5, Xserver did not fail, but instead the user was switched.
