Is that all I really need? I get the error that the -headers package can't be installed because it depends on itself. ;)
BTW, the modules that fail now are nvidia (180.44), vboxdrv (2.1.4), and vboxnetflt (2.1.4).

You need the headers package for the nvidia drivers. How do you install the 8.10 kernel? What I did is go to /etc/apt/sources.list and replace every "jaunty" word with "intrepid", so was just like it was in intrepid. Update to reload the packages info and then install these four packages:
linux-headers-2.6.27-14
linux-headers-2.6.27-14-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-14-generic
After installation revert back to the previous "jaunty edition" sources.list and you should be ok.
Also don't give up on cuda 2.2 with 2 gpus. Put back the second GPU, and try more. Tell me how many nvidia devices exist under /dev. Try the xorg.conf tweaks I posted above and post here a new xorg.0.log with the tweaks.
And I need those debug files. But first let's try standalone. Do you have any workunits?
Tye:
I did the sources.list trick, and with a little finagling, I was able to get the 8.10 kernel to install with no broken deps or other warnings. It even added the nvidia driver and vbox stuff correctly. Booted fine but is crashy now - argh. Hard to fix via SSH and VNC from work to home...
sunu:
Ok, I hope the kernel is ok. Now it's time to attack those 2 gpus.
Tye:
I think it was crashy because of nvclock - will not use it just yet. Might need the 8.10 version, or my card is unrecognized... Getting my wife to reboot right now so I can login and see what the deal is...
sunu:
I also use nvclock with absolute no problems at all. I don't use that from the repositories, but I got it straight from http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/
