Bug Description
After the last update to Ubuntu 7.04 - the Feisty Fawn which brought the kernel to 2.6.20.16 my Xserver wound not load. I changed my xorg.cong from driver nvidia to nv and rebooted and everything seems to work OK. When will the nvidia driver be updated to work?

After using Synaptic to install the linux-restricted package for 2.6.20.16 and running the "Restricted Device Manager" and enabling and then restarting linux everything seems to be running OK. The Nvidia driver is in use instead of the nv driver. It seems that the upgrade process does not set everything up properly and there are some lose ends that need to be manually fixed.
