[ltp] x startup issues

[Takis Diakoumis]

hi

i've got a T61 running debian squeeze with some rather odd X startup
problems. in short sometimes its fine and i'm presented with the gdm
login screen - other times x fails to start on boot altogether. there is
no error reported in Xorg.0.log. i have nvidia graphics and i'm running
the proprietary driver. if i login at the prompt and issue startx it
seems to run just fine and i get my desktop. 

has anyone encountered this before? suggestions? as a start, could i get
an xorg.conf from people successfully running with the nvidia
proprietary driver. 

also, i have found this reference which describes much of what i've
noticed too and points to breakages between the driver and xorg
packages...  http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47152

thanks heaps
