I saw this as well. I would prefer it print an error and just stop trying to
start X, personally. I get why they want to keep trying, but give it up when
it's obviously not going to work. :)

I fixed it with SSH and "/etc/init.d/gdm stop". Then installing the NVidia
drivers and starting gdm. It worked fine. Weird that it couldn't come up in
VGA mode though.
