Title:
nvidia drivers don't work due to -Q in obsolete /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-
video

Bug description:
I am not sure what is going on here but I recently upgraded from 8.04
to 9.10 and my nvidia drivers aren't working. I couldn't add via the
"hardware drivers" app. It just didn't work.
When I tried to add using apt-get it still didn't work. I tried
inserting the nvidia module using modprobe and I got and error stating
that "Q" was an invalid option. After some scouring of the web I
found a reference suggesting that I comment out lines in
/etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video so I tried commenting out a line in this
file. What do you know it worked. Here is a copy of that file;
# Make nvidia/nvidia_legacy and fglrx use /sbin/lrm-video to load
install fglrx /sbin/lrm-video fglrx $CMDLINE_OPTS
#install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS
install nvidia_legacy /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_legacy $CMDLINE_OPTS
install nvidia_new /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_new $CMDLINE_OPTS
So, now I have a working nvidia driver. However this seems to have broken my
audio. :(
I have no idea what this file does or what I have done by commenting
out this line other than getting the nvidia driver to finally load.
I have no idea why commenting this out would cause my audio to fail?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
