Slackware 13.1 gnome installation failed


I recently install slackware 13.1 kde and want to tr for gnome.
Then by issuing lynx --source http://gnomeslackbuild.org/net-install | bash command as root i could install gnome.There was no error during installation.Then after reboot i try to log to gnome by issuing gdm command.It ask my user name and password.
Then there was a light blue colour screen and it become bright green colour .There was no error massages.I try several times and got the same result.
I am using commercial nvidia driver .What could be the error.What should i do next.Please give your valuable opinion.I am new to slackware.

Hello,

could you please provide more information about which graphics-adapter you're using?

Have you tried KDE (or any other WM) with the same Slackware-installation and the same nvidia-driver?
