I recently updated to the latest (2.6.35-8-generic) kernel on a Maverick system, but rebooting after the update caused Xorg not to start. I see the following messages in dmesg:

[ 33.716949] Xorg:1316 conflicting memory types e0000000-e0546000 write-combining<->uncached-minus
[ 33.716954] reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe0546000, track write-combining, req write-combining

[ 49.853279] reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe0546000, track write-combining, req write-combining

I also see an error in Xorg.0.log:

[ 49.853] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate primary buffer: out of memory.
