Be warned, there are other bad side-effects to the current nvidia
drivers than just the pausing of kickoff. We've received reports of
other mysterious pauses, failures as well.

Bleah ... seems I may come to regret getting an nVidia card in my new
work desktop machine. :( (And I do actually need to use 3D on it, too)
Just a note that the actual RPMs from that alternative Xorg build
referred to in that bug report don't seem to be available any more,
either.
