I just installed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn beta along with the Nvidia 1.0-9755 driver. I also installed beryl. Every time I reboot my computer X fails to start. If I recompile and reinstall the video driver it works fine, but doing this after every reboot is a bit annoying. I can restart X without any problem as long as I do not shutdown the entire system.

Some excerpts from the xorg.conf file that might be of interest

Yea it says I'm running a different kernal version than the one the driver was compiled for, but I'm not. The driver points to the correct headers, I checked. I'll post a copy of that log in a little bit. (the log is currently clean becuase I'm successfuly running X)
