Kernel Update from 11 to 12 Breaks Nvidia

[chrissodey]

After updating my system on 05/08/2009 my computer restarted to a problem screen. The Nvidia drivers would no longer work. I rebooted and chose the Kernel ending with 11 (the previous one) and my computer booted fine. I am using the latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia website as none of the drivers built into ubuntu will work. The problem I ran into is with the SLI. Nvidia doesn't know how to configure the xorg.conf file properly to get the drivers to work. I have posted a fix for the sli issue. Search for my user name chrissodey on the ubuntu forums.

Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Thanks in advance.
