Everything is Okay except the nVidia video card.

</pre>

It is misconfigured and categorized into 'Other' in 'Device Driver Utility'.
After adding 'BusID  PCI:1:0:0' into xorg.conf.
Gdm goes black with blinking cursor at top-left corner but other processes continue running.
I can here the login sound, and are able to shutdown system with "Ctrl-Alt-Del".

BTW
The current nvidia driver cannot get screen depth, I use the latest official one(319.60) instead.

Thanks in advance.
