Bug Description

Karmic Alpha 5 : X Server crashes after upgrade to karmic alpha 5 from jaunty.
Using nvidia-glx-185, where before it was -180

Screen goes black at X initialisation, with cursor flashing in top left corner...
This repeats 3 times as if system tries to initialise driver.
Result :

X not started, and PC not responding to any key combinations (ALT-F1, Ctl-Alt-Del)

Only workaround found is to edit Driver to "nv" in xorg.conf
