I have gdm disabled, so I login to a plain tty and run startx to get a desktop session going. When this problem starts happening, if I logout of my session and run startx again, the problem remains.

If I logout and rmmod nvidia, then modprobe nvidia, and startx, the problem remains.

If I logout and do a warm boot, the problem remains. Is this perhaps a BIOS issue, not a driver issue? The only way to get things working again is to power cycle the laptop.
