Public bug reported:

After installing the nvidia driver and rebooting, a black screen
appears.

This happened on Hardy with Ubuntu and Gnome and it happens now with
kubuntu and KDE4.

The nvidia driver version is 173.14.16 and is installed via EnvyNG.

I found a post saying that the nvidia driver startup is very slow and xorg server timeout is too short:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/a708e81cbeddd59e

I followed his instructions:
"
To resolve the problem I set in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc: 
 
    [X-*-Core] 
     ServerTimeout=120
"

However, the problem still persists. After I followed the instructions,
enabled the nvidia driver and rebooted, I got the attached screen.
