Hi All,

I just ran into this bug as well in ubuntu 8.04

lspci -nn |grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV28GL [Quadro4 
980 XGL] [10de:0288] (rev a1)

no amount of wrangling with nv, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-new, or nvidia-
glx-legacy would convince the system not to load the "vesa" driver. In
the end I worked around this by downloading the linux32 driver from
nvidia after removing all nvidia packages but the kernel module (trying
to remove nvidia-kernel-common yields a frightening series of
suggestions from apt-get).

The driver I downloaded, that worked, was:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run
