           Summary: X locks up with black screen while starting (with
                    nividia driver)
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: gb_mail at ionflux.org

I am using the NVIDIA driver 6111, Linux 2.6.8 (gentoo-r4) and X.org 6.8.0.
When starting X, I get a lock up with a black screen. X can be killed with ssh,
but ALT+F1 doesn't work.

Last lines from Xorg.0.log:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1152x864"

Even should this be a problem with the NVIDIA driver, or the kernel, I don't
think X ought to just hang without any error messages?!

Works without problems with the nv driver.

I will provide more info if required.
