However, reverting nvidia-... to 340.93-1 but keeping glx-diversions to 0.6.0 does not solve it – which gives some evidence that glx-diversions 0.6.0 is the culprit.
You can try to kill gdm from a root text console and launch X through the startx command from your user text console : then gdm should start without crashing. It thus seems that this is in the very first stages of gdm launching that the issue arises. Hoping this helps ; i can't find other interesting log files than syslog and messages, tell me if i should look another one. Best, Ara
