Reassigning to xorg as nvidia drivers would need to be changed for
compatibility with PAE kernel, not vice versa.

Title:
  pae kernel corrupts nvidia driver

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu 12.04 and an NVidia graphics cars, I have the NVidia
  drivers installed and it usually works fine (well, except for the
  endless nvidia driver bugs). I have two screens configured.

  Usually I can run "NVidia Settings" and set up screen resolutions,
  twin view, etc.

  I installed the pae kernel with "apt-get install linux-pae-generic"
  (or something like that), then I rebooted (with the pae kernel) and my
  second monitor stopped working. So I tried to run NVidia Settings but
  I got the message "You don't seem to be using an NVidia X Driver".

  I rebooted with the old normal non-pae kernen and everything works as
  before.
