Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-1
Severity: important
File: gdmgreeter


Hi,

after installing nvidia proprietary driver following the method
explained on http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers (using
module-assistant for lenny), gdm won't start and /var/log/messages
shows:

gdmgreeter[4130]: segfault at 18 ip 7f628744b5c8 sp 7fff93640980 error 4
in libc-2.7.so[7f62873d6000+14a000]

Hummm, it's quite difficult to run gdb on a forked process...

Can you help me?

Cyrille
