This would indicate a problem with the nvidia kernel module rather than kdm. To check this you could switch to one of the console, stop kdm with "/etc/init.d/kdm stop" and then start X with "startx".

If you want to use the nv driver, besides changing your XF86Config-4, you will also need to uninstall the nvidia kernel and nVidia's glx libraries. If you have installed these from Debian packages, removing them should reset links to glx libraries needed by nv. If you didn't install from Debian packages, you will probably need to reinstall xlibmesa-gl package. > > Installing a previous version of the NVIDIA drivers after unstalling > the latest one resulted in an error.
