+Title: KDM fail at boot with NVidia cards - and no one try to fix it?

+<p>It is strange to watch how a bug in Debian causing KDM to fail to
+start at boot when an NVidia video card is used.  The problem seem to
+be that the nvidia X.org driver uses a long time to initialize, and
+this duration is longer than kdm is configured to wait.</p>
+
+<p>I came across two bugs related to this issue,
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/583312">#583312</a> initially filed
+against initscripts and passed on to nvidia-glx when it became obvious
+that the nvidia drivers were involved, and
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/524751">#524751</a> initially filed against
+kdm and passed on to src:nvidia-graphics-drivers for unknown reasons.</p>
+
+<p>To me, it seem that no-one is interested in actually solving the
+problem nvidia video card owners experience and make sure the Debian
+distribution work out of the box for these users.  The nvidia driver
+maintainers expect kdm to be set up to wait longer, while kdm expect
+the nvidia driver maintainers to fix the driver start faster, and
+while they wait for each other I guess the users end up switching to a
+distribution that work for them.  I have no idea what the solution is,
+but I am pretty sure that waiting for each other is not it.</p>
+
+<p>I wonder why we end up handling bugs this way.</p>
