I guess the flickering is normal and to be expected with the nvidia driver. The nv driver doesn't have that problem with new kernels. Forgot the what it is called, but with "open" drivers the kernel is now able to set the display resolution.
Concerning gdm, I personally use kdm (it is QT based, like mythtv. I don't know why on earth we need to load GTK for mythtv), so I can't give the hardcore details. But you will be able to modify GDMs settings with some files in /etc/gdm. Just look for a timeout there and set it to "0". -- mythbuntu: auto logon doesn't function properly after activating proprietary nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
