Title:
  X in failsafe mode after installing Nvidia drivers

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

Bug description:
  I'm trying to get nvidia-properitary drivers to work on my Lenovo w520. 
  After successfully installing the drivers I do a reboot. x-server then loads with what seems to be a failsafe mode. 
  Nvidia-settings reports that I don't appear to be running an nvidia driver, and hints to run nvidia-xconfig. 
  This application does not exist. (locate nvidia-xconfig returns no results as well. )

  dpkg -l|grep nvidia

  Any idea on what I have to do to get the nvidia-drivers working?
