successfully install driver,but can't start X,help!!

[ayaka]

I use GNU/Linux Ubuntu x64 10.04 desktop,Quadro FX380.
I'm sure I have remove nvidia-glx package and install build-essential
,pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev .
I sure sudo sh NV[Tab] -k $(uname -r) to install it.It said completed and successfully.
But when I start gdm ,it said X can't load to load nvidia.ko
((EE) failed to load nvidia.ko)
I try to remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and add it into /etc/modprobe/black.list.
But it is useless.
How can I fix it.

P.S I have install DKMS.
My English is not very well,please forgive me any unimplite

The file is /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf

You have to add

blacklist nouveau

to the end.

And make ABSOLUTELY sure you dont have any nvidia packages installed. Also, disable KMS.
Create a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf and put in it
options nouveau modeset=0
just to be sure.

Prior to installation remove your xorg.conf (or rename it). Let the installer configure it.

Why in the hell would you want the Nouveau driver?

It's crap wrt to OpenGL support.

Please attach your xorg.conf file.

Secondly, dkms manages the nvidia kernel module for you.

Thirdly, this is your Ubuntu Nvidia Driver that has the proprietary driver:

http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/pool...ntu2_amd64.deb

Here is the control file contents:

Package: nvidia-current
Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 256.35-0ubuntu2
Architecture: amd64
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Installed-Size: 125124
Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0), make, sed (>> 3.0), dkms, linux-libc-dev, libc6-dev, linux-headers-generic | linux-headers, patch, acpid, libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libx11-6, libxext6, libxv1, libxvmc1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
Recommends: nvidia-settings
Provides: xserver-xorg-video-7
Section: restricted/misc
Priority: optional
Description: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
The binary driver provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL
applications via a direct-rendering X Server. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out
and flat panel displays are also supported.
.
This package also includes the source for building the kernel module
required by the Xorg driver, and provides NVIDIA's implementation of
the Video Decode and presentation API. The latter enables acceleration
for NVIDIA 8 and later series cards for h264 video.
.
GPUs such as GeForce series 6 or newer are supported.
.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz for a complete list
of supported GPUs and PCIIDs

Unlike Debian, Ubuntu is pushing all the OpenCL, CUDA, GLX and VDPAU into one package:

nvidia-current.

First,I don't like deb package,it don't no support 3d .
Sencond, I had tried to blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf.
Third, I said DKMS ,not KMS(What's it? MS support seriver?),DMKS is dirrerent from it.
I ask in a Chinese forum , someone answer me ,I translate now.
Add nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" of /etc/default/grub
