I'm getting the same error message that was described above. After a reboot, my system keeps refusing to load X again. Thanks to the dubious package description, I installed the nvidia-glx- legacy. This driver won't work for my card and the nvidia-glx (which is the right one) now won't(?) load. I

Ludi: Your comment doesn't make sense in the context of this bug. This issue is only for people switching from nvidia-glx-new/nvidia-glx-legacy to just nvidia-glx. If you have only ever used nvidia-glx then this is definitely not the bug for you. Please can you search launchpad for a bug that be

I can confirm this problem too. I had to manually remove all nvidia modules and reinstall (using dpkg, since apt-get nvidia-glx require an old module/kernel version) the nvidia-glx & restricted-modules again. It's working now. -- hidden file controlling NVIDIA driver does not get removed when s

I can also confirm this bug. Downgrading from nvidia-glx-new to nvidia-glx does not remove the file /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed. This causes the wrong nvidia kernel module to be loaded (it loads the nvidia-glx-new module, instead of the nvidia-glx one), and causes an API mi

I had a similar problem but I haven't been able to solve it. No matter what driver I have installed (nvidia-glx/-legacy) I can't start X. When I do dmesg I get a message saying that v1.0-9755 doesn't support my card and that legacy 1.0-96xx only do. But I still get the same no matter what, and I ha

I can confirm that problem! I've installed Feisty Fawn beta and updated to the latest packages as of 15-APR-07. My PC has an integrated GeForce4 MX and it wouldn't work with nvidia-glx-new nor nvidia-glx. It did work with nvidia-glx-legacy but I believe this old version does not suport X composite
