Public bug reported: I'm using the nvidia driver on lucid for a GT240. The driver installs fine, but on reboot Xorg complains about an unusable configuration and does not start:
(EE) Jun 10 08:11:08 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the (EE) Jun 10 08:11:08 NVIDIA(0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and (EE) Jun 10 08:11:08 NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details. (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. After switching to a tty and running "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" (the "restart X" option in the rescue X11 windows does not work), Xorg comes up just fine without any errors and nvidia works. There are not nvidia-related errors in the kernel-log. Is there some sort of race-condition between modules or an incomplete blacklist?
