Warning: GdmDisplay: display lasted....

Hi Arch people ;o)

I've had some trouble installing gdm on my newly arch install.

when, but not always, but almost every time I run the "gdm" command  I end up seeing this: 

 
gdm-binary[1841]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.787705 seconds
gdm-binary[1841]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.787705 seconds
gdm-binary[1841]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.787705 seconds

gdm-binary[1841]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 2.787705 seconds
gdm-binary[1841]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors

well, the seconds are different, but you get the idea

I have a nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card - i've installed: 

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils

because i've got a 64bit system.

My X log is:

Re: Warning: GdmDisplay: display lasted....

I had this before, but I'm trying to remember how I solved it. First did you run 

nvidia-xconfig

as root? Second, make sure gdm is last in your daemon's array.

Re: Warning: GdmDisplay: display lasted....

I ran nvidia-xconfig as sudo - does that make a different? I'll try it as pure root, and i'll check up on the daemon array yikes)

Re: Warning: GdmDisplay: display lasted....

reboot after installing nvidia. also remove xorg.conf. it would use automatically because we have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Warning: GdmDisplay: display lasted....

hi again, i've tried rebooting after installing nvidia, removed xorg.conf - but still cant make it work properly.
The wierd part is, i can run ubuntu perfectly, and a vmbox with archlinux thats run sort of okay, this leads me to that my hardware most be okay - and is there anyway I could use my ubuntu nvidia settings in archlinux ?
