From .proc.driver.nvidia.cards.0.txt, I see you're using a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Looks like you're using the x86_64 kernel. You'll want to keep the current series (185), but you should be able to purge any of the following packages that are installed on your system. Use your favorite package manager to strip these out:

nvidia-96
nvidia-96-kernel-source
nvidia-96-dev
nvidia-173
nvidia-173-kernel-source
nvidia-173-dev
nvidia-180-kernel-source
nvidia-180-libvdpau
nvidia-180-libvdpau-dev
nvidia-glx-96
nvidia-glx-96-dev
nvidia-glx-173
nvidia-glx-173-dev
nvidia-glx-180
nvidia-glx-180-dev

The nvidia-96 series (including nvidia-glx-96) is for older cards / computers. But from what I see on the nvidia website, your card should be supported by the latest drivers.

I got same problems with old video card.
i got nvidia-96 driver v. 96.43.18 but it didnt worked

i got this new version driver of nvidia-96 driver and it worked
1. "wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/9.43.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.19-pkg1.run"
2. "sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.19-pkg1.run"
3. removed any other nvidia driver and installed the nvidia-96 driver and it works fine now

Hey martyfelker,

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
