Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
x86 architecture
The X server fails to start with proprietary nvidia drivers (185, as
recommended by the Hardware Drivers utility).
To work around this, I had to change my driver in xorg.conf to "nv" and
uninstall nvidia-*. I don't think that removing nvidia-* was necessary,
but it seemed to silence some crash reports I was getting from glxinfo.
This worked until recently. I'm inclined to blame a recent upgrade, but
I can't find anything likely in dpkg.log. My system is up to date
currently.
Xorg.log and backtrace will follow as soon as I can figure out how to
properly switch between "nv" and "nvidia" drivers from the console,
preferably without rebooting. I'm convinced that modifying xorg.conf
isn't good enough.
