In FalkTX' lucid main ppa is a patched nvidia driver which works fine 
for me on Alessio's realtime kernel in a ubuntustudio 10.04 64bit 
environment.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/falk-t-j/lucid/ubuntu/pool/main/n/
But I had to decide: After installing this driver in rt  proprietary 
nvidia  no longer was working for mainline generic and preempt kernels. 
I don't know and found nothing about running different kernel - 
graphicsdriver combinations persistent in one single Linux System. It's 
not just broken dkms but deeper incompatibilities between kernel 
versions.  I help myself with multiboot solutions.
