upgrade to lucid broke X on a 64bit machine with nvidia quadro FX 570

[Sergio Callegari]

After an upgrade to lucid, the x server does not work anymore.

Kdm prompt is correctly shown, however as soon as one tries to log in the server crashes and is restated.

Blacklisting nouveau and installing stock drivers from the nvidia site fixes the issue.

Might be connected with 572937 since the symptom is the same.

Might also be connected to 522328 since nvidia drivers from nvidia site were possibly installed on the machine prior to update.

Not present on oneiric, can possibly be closed

[dino99 (9d9)]

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.

[Sergio Callegari (callegar)]

As indicated above, bug was fixed with oneiric back in 2011.
