Title:
  X cannot be configured properly using nvidia-xconfig

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I installed the NVidia driver by using Ubuntu's jockey app
  (automatically popped up by Ubuntu). The next reboot was failed to
  start X and I was no longer able to use the laptop. This is an Asus
  K42JV laptop with NVidia GT 335M.

  As a workaround I deleted the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (it was created
  by nvidia-xconfig), its content was as follows:

  # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
  # nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder75)  Thu Apr 22 11:44:23 PDT 2010

  As far I can check, the NVidia driver is not used by the system now.
