Bug Description
With an up-to-date breezy system if I have gdm startup on boot, it will fail to
launch the xserver (logs will show it unable to find the default font fixed).
However, if I simply remove gdm from the system startup and manually start it
using the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start after booting is finished, it works just fine.
Note that when gdm runs its XKeepsCrashing mode the system hard locks, disabling
all keyboard input. Also, the curses mode doesn't seem to work correctly, as
instead of nice boxes for the curses dialogs I get a bunch of random weird
characters. The only way to recover from this that I've found is hard reset
then boot into single user mode, and then remove the gdm runlevel 2 link using
update-rc.d.
This is on amd64 using the nvidia graphics drivers from the restricted modules
package with a stock kernel.
Will attach my xorg.conf
