With a fresh install of 6.06, GDM freezes within a second or two of opening. Once I succeeded in typing my username and password and logging in, only to have X freeze whilst loading the desktop. Adding a 'sleep 5' to the GDM script does not help. This is with the 'nv' driver. I have an Nvidia 5700 OC, an Athlon X2 3800+ and an Elitegroup K8T890-A. I experience this with both -386 and -686 kernels.

By booting in "recovery mode", I can successfully launch GDM and/or startx from the console without freezing. However, if I enable the nvidia drivers, my screen immediately goes black and soon times out/goes into power-saving mode.

I have attached my xorg.conf
