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.
