Public bug reported: I have nvidia-glx and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-generic installed. When I select nvidia as driver in xorg.conf it loads nv_drv instead and my system hangs upon starting xorg. The screen goes blank and locks up.
Rebooting and selecting nv as driver works. When I get an api mismatch through the bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted- modules-2.6.20/+bug/106217 it loads the nvidia driver fine, but of course won't start because of the mismatch. After removing that .nvidia_new_installed file it gives the lockup again and again loads the nv_drv instead of the nvidia_drv.
