Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-2-generic
Unable to start nvidia module and as result unable to use nvidia driver
for xorg.
I have all needed packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia
ii nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34
NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu8

ii linux-restricted-modules-generic 2.6.26.2.2
Restricted Linux modules for generic kernels
As I understand current nvidia driver in ubuntu (169.12) doesn't support
2.6.26 kernel. But nvidia released 173.14.09 which support 2.6.26 well.
system:
~$ lsb_release -rd
