[Bug 469470] [NEW] proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-185

Under Kubuntu 9.04 I installed the proprietary nvidia driver 185 for my nVidia Quadro NVS 140M.
This finally made Suspend to RAM work, which before only left me with a black screen upon trying to resume. Also fancy desktop effects worked then.
After upgrading to Karmic however everytime I try to install the nvidia driver upon booting I get the error message:

Ubuntu is runnign in low-graphics mode
Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.

After manually changing 
Section "Device"
    [...]
    Driver "nvidia"

to
    Driver "nv"

graphics work again, but no Suspend to RAM and no 3D effects...
