Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in FatalError()

[xteejx]

This happened after trying to start the nvidia-current drivers in Lucid, by following the instructions on the "Known Issues" section on the wiki page for Alpha 2.

"Jockey (Ubuntu's restricted driver manager) doesn't yet support the new alternatives system used by the nvidia driver packages, so in order to install nvidia drivers you will have to install them from the command line:

    *

      sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-173 or nvidia-96)
    * select the alternative that matches the driver that you have installed
          o

            (e.g. /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf for nvidia-current):

            sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
    * update the ld cache:
          o

            sudo ldconfig
    * then configure your xorg.conf with:
          o

            sudo nvidia-xconfig
    * And restart your computer. "

ld.so.conf was selected in ldconfig, it was option 0
