Title:
  nvidia drivers don't work due to -Q in obsolete /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-
  video

Status in nvidia-common package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nvidia-common source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released
Status in nvidia-common source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I am not sure what is going on here but I recently upgraded from 8.04
  to 9.10 and my nvidia drivers aren't working.  I couldn't add via the
  "hardware drivers" app.  It just didn't work.

  When I tried to add using apt-get it still didn't work.  I tried
  inserting the nvidia module using modprobe and I got and error stating
  that "Q" was an invalid option.  After some scouring of the web I
  found a reference suggesting that I comment out lines in
  /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video so I tried commenting out a line in this
  file.  What do you know it worked.  Here is a copy of that file;

  # Make nvidia/nvidia_legacy and fglrx use /sbin/lrm-video to load
  install fglrx /sbin/lrm-video fglrx $CMDLINE_OPTS
  #install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS
  install nvidia_legacy /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_legacy $CMDLINE_OPTS
  install nvidia_new /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_new $CMDLINE_OPTS

  
  So, now I have a working nvidia driver.  However this seems to have broken my audio.  :(

  I have no idea what this file does or what I have done by commenting
  out this line other than getting the nvidia driver to finally load.

  I have no idea why commenting this out would cause my audio to fail?
  Any help would be appreciated.

  thanks,

  --Ted
