Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-current

Ubuntu release : 10.10

After a fresh install, I installed nvidia-current 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 (my
card is a GeForce 8500 GT).

With nvidia-current driver installed, each time I reboot, X (and GDM) take a long time (few minutes) to start : I only see the text connection invite.
If I wait few minutes, X finally starts, and GDM too.

Once X starts, after the wait, all works correctly (visual effect), so
the driver works correctly, but it seems that it interacts with
something else at boot time.

If I uninstall nvidia-current, my system boots correctly.

In the dmesg output, I can see the wait time (27.47 => 191.61)

In my Xorg.0.log file, the start time fits with the end of the wait time :

Apport doesn't works correctly (it never finishes collecting info), so I
don't know which log file to provide, but I'm going to join my full
dmesg output and the xorg log file.
