** Summary changed:

- Xorg freeze on boot when installed in OEM mode after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates are installed
+ LightDM fails to start when installed in OEM mode after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates are installed

** Description changed:

- Occurs reliably with Sandy Bridge hardware.
+ Occurs reliably on fast Sandy Bridge hardware with a fast GPU - GTX
+ 485M, GTX 560M or GTX 580M.
+ 
+ Appears to be a race condition. LightDM attempts to start before
+ /dev/nvidiactrl is created. As a workaround add "sleep 1 && service
+ lightdm start" to /etc/rc.local to start the service.
