Bug Description

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize
NVIDIA graphics device PCI:0:5:0

If Proprietary driver is selected during
Mythbuntu installation, Xorg/GDM fails to
start on reboot.

Selecting the Open Source driver during
install works correctly. But if nvidia-
current is activated from Jockey, system
again fails to start Xorg on reboot.

This is caused by Nvidia driver and Hauppauge 1600 being in the same system.

Updating /etc/default/grub's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to include "vmalloc=256MB" solves issue

Changed in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu):
