Public bug reported:
On a clean install of lucid (on amd64), installing binary nvidia driver
results in a misconfigured X, which can't start. I.e. installing the
binary drivers by the recommended gui manner (via the 'Hardware drivers'
wizard) results in an X that has to fall back to failsafe settings.
At the end of X's log I fond:
===================
(**) Nov 18 02:48:59 NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(II) Nov 18 02:48:59 NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X
extensions is

messages and

ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
==================
The 'Hardware drivers' wizard didn't show any errors when installing the
drivers. I will attach jockey's logs
Note that trying to load 'nvidia' kernel module doesn't work, but loading
'nvidia-current' kernel module does, and that after loading it, it shows up as
'nvidia' in the output of 'lsmod':
====================
r...@ponty:/var/log# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
r...@ponty:/var/log# modprobe nvidia-current
r...@ponty:/var/log# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 8096262 0
r...@ponty:/var/log#
====================
