Natty fails to start X at bootup with nvidia driver

[Sebastian Wiesinger]

After upgrading to Natty the X11 startup fails at boot time. Looking into the X11 logfile I see:

[ 10.276] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
[ 10.277] (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
[ 10.277] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0

[ 10.294] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.

[ 10.294]
Fatal server error:
[ 10.294] no screens found
[ 10.294]

an lsmod tells me that the nvidia kernel module is loaded.

After restarting GDM (sudo service gdm stop/start) the X-Server is starting as it was before the upgrade to Natty.

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