Bug Description
This is a problem concerning updating to the latest NVIDIA drivers.
When the package linux-restricte
The ways to fix this are,
1) To remove the installers components, `sh NVIDIA-* --uninstall`
2) To manually delete the modules in /lib that conflict (hackish)
3) To use a third party repository to gain a more up to date version of linux-restricte
As you can see none of these fixes are very easy or user friendly; so, in my opinion, this behavior should be fixed.

Not sure if this is related but I seem to think it is. I have a Nvidia graphics card & have installed (via Adept ) the Nvidia GLX driver. After last set of updates which included a new kernel image etc X failed to come up on next reboot. Even tried the (new) recovery boot & at the prompt typed in kdm but still no X?
Rebooted into previous kernel with no problem!
