56 Oh, I just got it too. It's neither gdm nor systemd; it's the nvidia
57 binary module. Check lsmod, I bet you don't have it loaded, and dmesg
58 will have "nvidia: Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err
59 0)". No nvidia, no X, no X, no gdm (although the error message it
60 gives does sound weird).
61
62 I'm checking how to get the nvidia drivers in 3.13.
63
64 Regards.
