Installed the 301.132-ubuntu2 release from Zesty on Mom's computer. That does indeed allow the module to load, but puts you right back at the GLX error.
Removed the nvidia-304 package and thankfully, nouveau seems to have improved somewhat and now works for her. Have enclosed error log, although it should probably go in another bug. ** Attachment added: "glx-error.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1634802/+attachment/4780156/+files/glx-error.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634802 Title: Could not insert module Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 source package in Yakkety: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu release: 16.10 Yakkety Yak Kernel version: 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 Package version: 304.132-0ubuntu1 The nvidia module cannot be loaded. The following errors are reported: Could not insert module Unknown symbol in module and: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0) nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0) It looks like the buildfix_kernel_4.3.patch, which is supposed to be dealing with those calls, is not applied in this release of the package. The package was working fine with the previous fully updated Ubuntu version 16.04 prior to the upgrade to 16.10.
