Comment 9 for bug 102683

Unfortunately this new driver did not fix the problem. The problem is still there and there is no behavior change with this new driver.
This new driver work only ONCE and it's when it's used IMMEDIATELY after the proprietary nVidia driver from the company nVidia.
In all other circumstance it fails like described above.

I proved I installed the driver like this;
$ dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.0.0-0ubuntu3.1_i386.deb

I proved I used this new driver;
$ diff /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so nv_drv.so.bak
Binary files /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so and nv_drv.so.bak differ

The diff below shows the /var/log/Xorg.0.log difference when the new "nv" driver worked after being invoked after nVidia proprietary driver ran (attached file: Xorg.0.log_nvafternvidia.txt). The other file is after "nv" was relaunched after "nv" ran once, in this scenario the "nv" didn't found the Analog device port A and found the wrong CRTC (attached file: Xorg.0.log_nvafternv.txt).

You can see that the file Xorg.0.log_nvafternv.txt is showing you that the driver failed to find "analog device on output A" and it was mistaken by finding there was a monitor CRTC 1. I have only one monitor attached to port 0 as it's detected when "nv" had detected when it worked (after running after nvidia driver). When "nv" ran without problem it found "analog device on output A" and found monitor 0 "Using CRT on CRTC 0".

Is there another driver you want me to test?

thanks very much

P.S. I attach the two new log files;
