I had success with Philip's gdm patch! "kdm[1064]: X server died during startup" and "kdm[1064]: Failed to start X server. Starting failsafe X server." are not to be found in the syslog.

PLEASE refactor this "upstart sprawl." This was a very painful bug for me. As an Intel IGP owner, I wasn't even given a terminal to fall back to. It would be a shame if this bug reared its head again.

I have fixed packages queued in my ppa for anyone that doesn't want to build gdm on their own (or wait for the official update). https://launchpad.net/~kachristmas/+archive/ppa
