Public bug reported:

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
