Okay, testing with standard disto version of /etc/default/grub and the following in my /etc/init/gdm.conf: start on (filesystem and started dbus and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udevtrigger)) stop on runlevel [016] Boot seemed to be fairly quick and I did NOT notice the flicker I used to see after the splash screen. It was a pretty smooth transition to the GDM login screen, and I'm on tty7. I've also been working for 40 minutes now without a crash, which seems promising. Are there any logs you'd like me to report with this configuration/boot? -- X starts on wrong tty because gdm starts before nvidia driver is ready https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
