Please define: 'a complete failure to star the X server'.
In our nomenclature 'a complete failure' refers to the Xserver not starting at
all - in which case you *are* in text console.

Looking at this file, the time stamps reveal that the Xserver had been active
for 1.5 hours. I don't think there were any issues with the video signal.

Actually, both EDID blocks are right: one has the extension flag set (the
checksum is changed accordingly). The checksum of the extension block seems to
be wrong (in which case the NVIDIA driver should probably ignore it).

Ulrich, the information you've supplied is still to piecemeal to get NVIDIA
involved: It is not clear at all if the log file you supplied in comment #3 is
for the G03 or the G04 driver.
