Bug Description
xorg crashes on boot when using nvidia-glx-185.
Nvidia-glx-173 is working fine.
Using an Geforce 8600M GT on a Dell Inspirion 1720.
Maybe the ubuntu-bug logs not useful cause the report was created running nvidia-173 (without problems).
xorg1.log:
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/

I have the exact same problem on two machines I tried to load Karmic on today. After "installing" the 185 drivers in the hardware-drivers utility, I reboot into a blank screen. XOrg.0.log says:
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your xorg/modules/ drivers/ /nvidia_ drv.so
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"

The 173 drivers do infact work fine.
