Bug Description
# nvidia-glx-config enable
Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
The reason is that n-g-c first tries to load the module and then writes xorg.conf. But the new behaviour of 'modprobe nvidia' is to fail unless xorg.conf mentions 'nvidia', thus we have a deadlock.
This should be worked around by n-g-c using modprobe -i.
