Comment 3 for bug 268389

Bryce, let's let this close if you want.

The request wasn't entirely version specific, but was reported against Gutsy, which I don't have installed anymore. I did have this reoccur with Hardy after a kernel upgrade, but the nvidia drivers for Hardy are so old that rather than fix it with the Hardy packages, I decided to manage the driver install manually for now. In retrospect, I should have captured the debugging information for you first -- sorry. Intrepid and Jaunty use an improved approach, and I'm not seeing the problem with them.

So the good news is that handling of drivers has improved over the releases, making this wishlist item perhaps unnecessary.
