This still happens with Lucid alpha-2 updated through today, but not
always.

I think that this may not be a problem with the driver itself, but with
timing related to the upstart scripts in /etc/init/ .

If I start the system in recovery mode, log in as root, and run the
script

 #!/bin/sh
 echo start some services like the ssh daemon and apache
 service ssh start
 service apache2 start
 echo start X
 service gdm start

then gdm always starts.

Note that Bug #945553 mentions this problem.

In the past, when a similar problem occurred, I could change the order
in which gdm started from /init/rc2.d, relative to other daemons, but I
don't know how to do this with the new upstart scripts.
