Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-common
I encountered this bug after updating from 8.04 to 9.10.
When trying to use the "nvidia" non-free video driver, the log file Xorg.0.log
contains the following
message:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
....
modprobe: invalid option -- 'Q'
Usage: modprobe [-v] [-V] [-C config-file] [-d <dirname> ] [-n] [-i] [-q] [-b]
[-o <modname>] [ --dump-modversions ] <modname> [parameters...]
modprobe -r [-n] [-i] [-v] <modulename> ...
modprobe -l -t <dirname> [ -a <modulename> ...]
FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
After many wild-goose chases, I found that the /sbin/lrm-video script is
apparently using an outdated
syntax in the generated modprobe commands.
The following change eliminated this message, and allowed the "nvidia"
driver to load and initialize successfully:

It is possible that the current modprobe option "q" should be substituted for
the errant "Q".
