Public bug reported: On 64 bit Lucid, installed from Beta 1 LiveCD, after installing "nvidia-current" (which appears to install successfully) on subsequent boots the graphical display fails to load, dumping me to tty1. This also happens with "nvidia-173". The only way I have found to get back to a working graphical display is to uninstall "nvidia-current" from the tty display and reboot. Obviously doing that means the nvidia drivers don't load, and 3D acceleration is unavailable.
Using 32 bit Lucid beta on the same computer the nvidia drivers work just fine, the problem seems to be with the 64 bit architecture.
