Public bug reported:

The bug:
When attempting to open the Restricted Drivers Manager, a dialogue box returns 
this message:
[quote]
You need to install the package

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server

for this program to work.[/quote]
No such package exists to what I could find. Confirmation of a forum user 
confirmed that he could not find the package in either fiesty, or gutsy. 
Furthermore, a search on google returns a single sight written in chinese. He 
has no response yet.
This bug is also tied to the "Screens and Graphics" utility, and the 
"nvidia-settings" program as well.


My original goal that led to this problem:
Setup dual monitors in gutsy, having fusion on both, but generating a seperate 
cube for both.
My setup:
Amd64 version of gutsy, thus amd64 repositories
2 * Nividia geforce 7600gs's, one crt monitor plugged into each.

My drivers were originally working nicely with proprietary version,
however setting up dual monitors originally through "Screens and
Graphics" was a heartfelt pain, as it led to many a crash, and many a
altered/botched xorg.conf. A suspicion I have leading to some of the
errors I was getting is the fact that my crt drivers arent found in the
default repo, and I had to download them. Because of this, everytime I
run the util, I have to re-add them again. It would be nice if the
program could let me know where to save my drivers, and furthermore, if
it would add mine automatically.

I was trying everything to get this to work, and eventually decided to
try swapping the glx drivers with the glx-new drivers. Once I did this,
is when I gander that my programs started returning these wierd errors.

nvidia-settings returned this error
[quote]You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X 
configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X 
server. [/quote] When I run the suggested command however, it does nothing but 
botch my xorg for next time I want to log in.
