Well, let's say that the first thing I did after installing kdm was to enable auto-login on my user, so yes, local security is not really a concern for me (anyway, it's a home computer and anyone that could get to a login screen would be physically sitting in front of it, so they could boot on whatever live CD they'd like. So again, local security is definitely not a concern for me). > X does not know about that parameter, so it will try to load nouveau > unless you specify a driver in xorg.conf.

The X installation went fine, except that I had to write a minimal xorg.conf file to force it to use the nvidia module (a). And yes, I also get an error message (actually, a warning) in the log (b). But the system seems to be working perfectly, so now I'm just left to copy my files and fine tune the install.
