Public bug reported:

I have updated my Ubuntu to Karmik 2 days ago.

I had nvidia drivers 96 installed WORKING in Jaunty, and now it load up
the system and show the ubuntu logo white on black, then it show a
"flashing" shell prompt.

It looks like gdm tries to start X in an infinite loop and X crashes
everytime to the shell. I press CTRL+ALT+CANC and the system reboot.

Accessing in recovery mode, i delete the xorg.conf, reboot and then
ubuntu working fine with mesa driver (but no dri).

I saw other bugs posted much like this one, but they result fixed.

The package with module actually compile and load on kernel
2.6.31-14-generic, but it looks like it's not compatible with last xorg
server or some of it's components. I tried reinstall, but didn't work.

Here's my video card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2)
	Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
	Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
	Expansion ROM at fea00000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

The xorg.conf it is standard created by nvidia driver installer (it just
say "driver nvidia")
