Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-173

Nvidia 173.14.27 crashes with Xserver 1.9 in Ubuntu maverick
(development branch) Release: 10.10.

This affects users:

  1. of legacy Nvidia cards using 173 drivers when upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 beta.
  * 10.04 to 10.10 upgrade results in black screen.
  **  b. A clean failsafe/fallback using Nouveau would be better.

  2. attempting to switch to 173 driver in Maverick.

Issue relates to compatibility between Nvidia 173.14.27 currently in
Maverick and Xorg Xserver 1.9, also currently used in Maverick.

173.14.28 appears to fix the problem.
