Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
As summary says...
I just installed newest updates with update-manager, and kernel & nvidia-glx also updated.
After upgrade to 2.6.20-15-generic (nvidia-glx was updated too) X fails to start with no screens found, and says failed to load NVIDIA kernel module. Nvidia-glx did update with update manager too though.
Booting back to 2.6.20-14-generic makes X work again.

have u noticed there is a new nvidia in repos called nvidia-glx-new
install that version and u are back to normal
U probably used the restricted drivers manager to install nvidia which incidentally selects the older nvidia-glx thereby giving a kernel mismatch .
