Lucid Lynx and nvidia

OMFG! Of course, Lucid is still beta, so I should not complain.

Nonetheless, the upgrade with Nvidia is painfull as usual.

Have done lots of stuff to get this working.

• blacklist the nouveau driver [need link]
• make plymouth (new graphical boot splash) use vesafb; see this bug.
• clean out manually installed nvidia drivers (nvidia-uninstall)
• apt-get purge nvidia-current
• apt-get install nvidia-current
• set nvidia-current in Hardware Drivers (System menu, administration)
• let X automatically configure stuff

[reboot inbetween each step for good measure]

I still don't have the splashscreen at boot, I do have it at shutdown. I pray that this splashscreen is temporary until the real thing is ready.
