This problem still persists after yesterdays release so I can't upgrade
to Natty at this time without losing support for my nVidia card. What
extra information do I need to give?

I've done some more messing about to see if I can fix the problem. I
added the x-swat ppa to my Maverick system to see if the problem exists
in Maverick with the latests driver and I got the same result when
upgrading the nvidia-current driver: The xserver crashes and the system
is completely unresponsive after the driver is loaded. I looked at the
latest changelog for the driver which is installed in Natty
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-270.41.06-driver.html
and it says:

Fixed a bug that caused some GPUs to stop responding when the X Server
was started. All GPUs are susceptible, but the failure was primarily
seen on GF104 and GF106 boards.

This sounds like the problem I am having, but the driver doesn't fix the
bug for me?!

I'd really like to use Natty, so any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt
