Bib, as per the readme for your nvidia card's driver
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.20/README/appendix-b.html
the nvidia 96.x series driver supports xorg up to 1.10. As xorg-server-
lts-trusty is using xorg 1.15, it is incompatible with the nvidia
driver.

Hence, if you want to continue using the nvidia 96.x series driver, you
will have to use the original xorg and kernel stack as outlined in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack .

Otherwise, you will need to use nouveau.

Please feel free to report any future bugs you may find.

Title:
  Enabling HWE Stack in precise broke my system

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Dell D800 Pentium M 1400 - video pci id 0x0286 nv28m nvidia-96 mandatory (broken nouveau)
  I ran sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty 
  which began removing nvidia96 and xserver-xorg-core then failed to install the 3.13.0-45 kernel
  I had to add forcepae option to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub AND force the pae flag to show in /proc/cpuinfo this way:
  ~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/flags\t*:/& pae/' > /tmp/cpuinfo_pae
  ~$ sudo mount -o bind /tmp/cpuinfo_pae /proc/cpuinfo
  ~$ sudo mount -o remount,ro,bind /proc/cpuinfo
  so that after sudo update-grub and reboot I could have linux-generic-lts-trusty to install OK.

  However nvidia-96 fails to reinstall and the system is just OK for booting in tty lowgraphics mode.
