[Bug 145688] xserver crashes machine with nvidia quadro nvs140m

[cullen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules

I have a ThinkPad R61 with nvidia quadro nvs140m.  After updates, my xserver crashes.  Attempts to fix by using dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg per the instructions in xorg.conf do not work.  Nor does removing the xorg.conf file, and then starting x.  The problem may be in the file /usr/share/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.22-12-generic/modules.alias.override/nvidia 
Changing the line:
alias pci:v000010DEd00000429sv*sd*bc03sc*i* nvidia_legacy
to:
alias pci:v000010DEd00000429sv*sd*bc03sc*i* nvidia_new
allows successful use of nvidia-glx-new
