** Description changed:

  On a system where i was moving hard drives from one machine to another,
  I noticed that the second machine would not boot successfully because
  the first had an nvidia driver which was loaded for it's operation.
  
  This presents a problem, because if the nvidia package could be
  accidentally installed, then people could end up with non working
  systems.
  
  Removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf fixed the problem.
+ 
+ For more info and ways to work around this problem, see:
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/NvidiaDriverSwitching
