** Description changed:

  TEST CASE:
  
  Starting with a fresh Ubuntu 10.04.3 installation...
  
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.0.0-8-generic
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.0.0-8-generic
  # or should that be: install linux-lts-backport-oneiric ?
  # REBOOT
  sudo apt-get install nvidia-173
  # The above command fails with an error.
  
  # Check the exact error:
  cat /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-173/*/build/make.log
  
+ WORKAROUND:
+ 
+ Revert back to the kernel version that your Ubuntu release came with:
+     Ubuntu 10.04 --> kernel 2.6.32
+     Ubuntu 11.04 --> kernel 2.6.38
+ No workaround is available for Ubuntu 12.04-alpha-1 yet.
  
  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  
  Brand new install of 10.04 onto a formatted hard drive. The upgrade icon
  said there was a restricted driver available - I clicked it. When I was
  running a Windows XP VMWare image, the video seemed to completely reset.
  I had to shut down and restart.
