I wonder if this is the same bug as this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/548362
I have similar issues. I use AMD64. I get random X crashes (but the computer is still alive). The difference is that I do not have two GPUs. Also, my crashes are not at startup, but random. I don't know if my problem is the same as the original submitter's.
I use version 195.36.24-4. I don't remember when my problems started. I'm pretty sure that 190.53-4 was stable. I am currently using kernel 2.6.32-5.
I include my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files. Marc
