Title:
  NVIDIA driver fails to load on boot 75% of time

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

Bug description:
  I have a Dell E6510 laptop containing an NVIDIA 3100M card. I'm
  running 32 bit Ubuntu Lucid (10.04), using the proprietary NVIDIA
  driver provided with Lucid (nouveau doesn't yet work with this card).

  About 75% of the time the machine fails to boot - after 3-4 seconds, and without showing anything on the screen (text or graphical), it hangs with a black screen with a flashing text-mode cursor. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or any other keys) has no effect.  The Xorg.log shows:
      Fatal server error:
      no screens found

  However, roughly once in every 4 attempts (varies widely) I see
  messages on the screen about ureadahead and plymouthd having been
  killed by the OOM killer, and the machine boots correctly and
  functions without problem.

  This happens with both the drivers provided with Lucid, and the latest
  drivers directly from NVIDIA.  It's been suggested on the NVIDIA
  forums that this may be a timing issue.
