Bug#628437: nvidia-support: Display freezes after ksplash screen is finished

[Andreas Feldner]

Package: nvidia-support
Version: 20110515+1
Severity: important


After the latest update to nvidia-support and related packages, the display freezes at the point where it would switch from the ksplash animation to the actual
desktop. I.e. the display is showing the nearly finished ksplash animation. In background, the X session starts up normally, no errors are logged to the 
.xsession file. Even the screen saver starts running after a while, but nothing shows on screen. Switching to a virtual console and back to X leaves the 
screen black.
