Maybe the most useful information comes from the gdm log:

FATAL: Error inserting nvidia

i had similar problems, because of a simple mistake: selected the
nvidia-smp driver while running the non smp kernel. To fix it install
the nvidia-default driver, reboot, done.
If youre running both kernel and nvidia smp versions, the above wont
help...
