[Harry <harry.kaasinen33@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nate Wiebe, the conflict is caused by the virtual package "xserver-xorg-video-5".
Xserver-xorg-core 1.7 conflicts with that one.
Now the nvidia driver 190.42 from NVidia PPA (but not from the Nvidia Vdpau Team PPA) provides "xserver-xorg-video-6"
which is not in conflict with xorg.

Please test the following way:
- remove nvidia-glx and all other related nvidia-packages (185, 190, 195)
- empty the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- install xorg packages 7.5 / 1.7 to fully update them
- check that you have xserver-xorg-video-nv and -vesa installed
- reboot (you may now experience low graphics mode, because nv does not work well either with new xorg)
- install now nvidia graphics drivers 190 or 195 from NVidia PPA (not from NVidia Vdpau Team PPA)
- run in terminal: sudo nvidia-xconfig
- reboot

Reboot or startup may run into black screen or low graphics mode from
time to time these days because of bugs in new xorg. Particularly after
some updates this is likely to happen. Then, run in terminal: sudo
nvidia-xconfig and reboot. This will help.

I am running fully updated system (AMD64) with Gigabyte-MA790XT-UDP4
mobo and Nvidia-285-GTX card and the beta dirvers 195 work very well on
this.
