Title:
  Nvidia proprietary driver unable to initialize

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

Bug description:
  I installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 and installed the proprietary driver (nvidia-current) suggested by the system.
  Upon reboot it fails while starting GDM, leaving me with a blinking cursor in tty7.

  I'm able to jump to tty1 and log in.
  The cause is that installing said driver (naturally) changes the driver in xorg.conf to "nvidia", as should.
  But since this module fails, X fails and GDM fails.

  The relevant lines from dmesg are:

  [  392.594219] NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
  [  392.596521] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:820)
  [  392.596542] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

  In my xorg logs I'm seeing:

  To patch it up I simply use "Intel" as a fall back driver on the first 'device' in the xorg.conf.
  Doing so I'm able to start X and GDM.

  I've tried installing both Ubuntu's and Nvidia's own drivers (256 and
  260).

  I've reproduced this on two fresh installs of 10.10 on the same
  machine, and many times over on the latest install.
