Fresh install on Karmic Alpha 5 - AGP FX5200 NVIDIA video card detected,
suggests installing the non-free driver, when you try to activate it, it
downloads the driver, but installation fails at the DKMS step.
On restart, X fails to load, as /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been modified to
use driver "nvidia", without a successful install of the driver.
To start X, manual editing to use driver "nv" instead is necessary.
