Bug description:
  Computer
  Model            MS-1633X (version MS-1633)
  Manufacturer Micro-Star International
  Form Factor    Laptop - amd64 dual-core Turion X2 Mobil TL-56,  with Nvidia chip sets 
  OS                  Ubuntu - Lucid Lynx/Studio 10.04 - Upgraded from Ubuntu Hardy/Studio 8.04

  
   The Ubuntu 10.04 Studio installed software offers only the 2.6.31-10-rt kernel.
  I have the Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-22-generic, and 2.6.32-22-preempt kernels installed that nvidia-current 195.36.15-0Ubuntu3 works well with.

   The nvidia-current driver didn't work if I tried to boot to the
  2.6.31-10-rt kernel, therefore I upgraded it through bojo42's PPA for
  RT Kernels ( https://launchpad.net/~bojo42/+archive/rt ). After
  synaptic processing completed, Notice area showed that nvidia-current
  failed to install.

   I know that I compiled my nvidia-current to the standard
  2.6.32-22-generic, and 2.6.32-22-preempt kernels, and that the
  2.6.33-rt I installed is a newer non-matching number kernel.  But I
  have never had problems with compiling nvidia proprietary drivers for
  this machine under Ubuntu Hardy, and so expected that the Lucid -
  Nvidia Hardware Drivers would work in a similar manner.

  I'm at a loss for solutions at this point - after googling nvidia-
  current - the ubuntu forums - reading bug reports -etc. not much
  matching my current situation - probably because Ubuntu 10.04 is so
  new ?

   
  ( Excerpt from bojo42's PPA )

  Ubuntu 10.04 uses a 2.6.32 based kernel with graphic drivers from
  2.6.33, but for 2.6.32 there are no rt patches and so Ubuntu does only
  ship an old 2.6.31 based realtime kernel. This PPA provides a 2.6.33
  based realtime kernel so you can have for example the full graphic
  experience of Ubuntu 10.04 and even some new features of 2.6.33.

  The kernel itself is a plain vanilla 2.6.33.X with the latest rt
  patchset and configuration is based on the matching 2.6.33.X build
  from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline plus some changes
  for realtime usage. So if you run into any problems check if got them
  with the mainline kernel as well, if that isn't the case you know that
  it's specific to the realtime patches and configuration.

  In case i miss an update of the rt patchset
  (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/) just ping me:

  BTW if you use a rt kernel on a desktop machine, you will notice that PulseAudio randomly crash at audio playback. See Bug #367671 for this.
  #############################

  I'm not sure how to proceed with a solution here - Is Ubuntu - Debian, or Nvidia causing the driver not to compile for multiple kernel versions ?
  In any case, it sure is not very user-friendly.
