Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
If I manually download the 9755 stable drivers from Nvidia and install them, then my video works perfectly. However if I use the 9631 drivers that are currently included in Feisty then GDM will not start, since X will not start.
In light of this, I would like to ask that the Nvidia drivers be upgraded to the latest stable version.
Thanks in advance,

This is not a duplicate of bug 87896, that one is talking about the current version of the package not being properly installed in some fashion, in particular that the nvidia.ko module is not being properly created.
This bug is that even if that bug was solved, the 9631 drivers do not work with my motherboard/video card combination, whereas the newer stable 9755 drivers do work.
To state it more clearly, the 9631 drivers do not produce video on my setup, even assuming that they are installed correctly. Bug 87896 is, as far as I can tell, that the 9631 drivers are not installed correctly. I need the 9755 drivers for my video card to produce video.
