Xorg crash after carriage return [SOLVED]

When I login everything works until I give a carriage return somewhere, like emacs, shell,...
Then Xorg crashes and brings me back to gdm.
Any solutions for this problem? I'm using an nvidia graphics card.

Re: Xorg crash after carriage return [SOLVED]

Gnome/Xorg crashes randomly when the enter key is pressed
If you find Gnome, GDM and Xorg crashing randomly when you press the enter key, you are probably experienceing this bug: [1]
As a work arround, edit /etc/rc.conf and move Gdm to the end of the DAEMONS list
e.g. Run this command in terminal:
sudo vi /etc/rc.conf
Edit the last line of the file so it looks something like:
DAEMONS=([...] gdm)

Re: Xorg crash after carriage return [SOLVED]

Thank you very much! One might think I did absolutely no effort to finding it myself, yet I did google and search the wiki. Just not in the right places as it seems.
