Who is user 501? Does this user really not exist?
I am: pat@wahoo:~> grep pat /etc/passwd pat:x:501:100:Patrick Shanahan:/home/pat:/bin/bash
I don't understand that "kdesu: ERROR: User 501 does not exist". I had a 'kdesu' session open when I rebooted.
Aha. Probably another problem, unrelated to NVidia.
I killed the process before the last reboot and the error is no longer present.
Perhaps it's better to try NVidia's Linux Discussion Forum. On http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html is a link on that forum. I tried to search, but it refused because I was not logged in. Oh, I /love/ those forums...
I will, but I don't believe that it is the driver. Two points, it stopped working when it had been working and it still works via startx. When I changed from auto-login, the windowmanager (kdm and xdm)came up asking for user/passwd, accepted the entry and ...stoped...
Another suggestion: you could try earlier NVidia drivers.
I have used 5336 since the last of January, and updated yesterday to 6106 when I thought the problem was solved &8-(
I'm afraid I can't help you any further with this one. :(
