I am also experiencing this issue. I recently installed a GeForce GTX 460 on
my system, which is running Squeeze, and am using the proprietary NVidia
drivers installed from the Squeeze repositories. Periodically gdm3 will fail
to launch and will show a blinking "_" cursor in the upper left. I can
generally recover without rebooting by switching to a different console with
ctrl-alt-F1, logging in, and running "/etc/init.d/gdm3 restart", though
sometimes it takes 2 tries to successfully launch gdm3. I have attached my
xorg.conf, Xorg0.log, and gdm3's 0.log and 0-greeter.log. (the slave log was
empty)
