These permissions (666 on the nvidia devices) are wrong ... and make
things work :-(
So let's check whether this is actually the case.
Go to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1)
- stop gdm
invoke-rc.d gdm 3 stop
- and reload the module manually
modprobe -r nvidia
modprobe nvidia
ls -la /dev/nvidia*
- the nvidia devices should have 660 permissions now
- starting gdm should fail with the known error
invoke-rc.d gdm3 start
The way the module gets loaded upon boot is somehow wrong since it is
ignoring the module options, so it works after reboot.
