Something happenend in linux-image-generic since linux-
image-2.6.35-7-generic. in 2.6.35-7 the proprietery NVIDIA-drivers was
working, but in 2.6.35-8 Xorg fails with "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to
allocate primary buffer: out of memory."

My only solution is to add "nopat" to the kernel command-line. I'm
unsure of what PAT actualy is, but works around the error for me. I do
not know which of the 2.6.35-8 changes that caused this.
