I'm getting the same error message that was described above.
After a reboot, my system keeps refusing to load X again.

Thanks to the dubious package description, I installed the nvidia-glx-legacy. This driver won't work for my card and the nvidia-glx (which is the right one) now won't(?) load. I removed the nvidia-glx-legacy package but the message keeps showing up every time that I use the 'nvidia' driver in the device section of xorg.conf.

I'm using the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel.

Are you sure that this has nothing to do with this bug?
