** Description changed:

  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.
