Did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Make sure the nvidia driver is loading
properly in there. I've found that sometimes it doesn't build properly in
the chroot and, for some reason, doesn't build properly with DKMS when
booting a frontend. On my setup, the server is running a -server kernel and
the frontends aren't, so it's unable to figure out what to build for. I have
a command line for DKMS that might help, email me if you are having that
problem and I'll post it. I'm not at home right now, so I can't get to it.
