Title:
  [amd64][nv8600gt] karmic/lucid nvidia proprietary cause system crash
  when xserver-xorg starts

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-185

  1. install any amd64 ubuntu-based distro 9.10/10.04.
  2. install nvidia drivers via apt/jockey/envyng/nvidia.com's installer/s (all have the same outcome).
  3. reboot or startx, soon after system crashes completely.

  Tried every how-to I could find the past 3 days. Xorg.conf settings
  till I turned blue in my face. Lots of kernels and some different
  drivers from 173 to 195. Same hardware running i386 kernels works
  100%. Not easy for me to debug so if there's some tips of how I can
  retrieve info please! At the moment I use another computer to ssh into
  this one with the problem so that I can get feedback via pts just
  before the system halts.
