Title:
  Xorg freeze - Nvidia driver after kernel update

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  My work around is:
  keep my PC on top of a work table beside my workstation to facilitate video card switching..  to remove it and install an AMD Radeon HD5450 which will boot and switch to nouveau with the new hardware discovery.  Older boot attempts in the syslog file indicate to my limited view the Nvidia driver has no authority to access it's own files after kernel update an hour and a half ago. The root cause.. not really Xorg, ...go figure.  Before the update I was thinking.. should I switch to nouveau for the update. Nahhh they fixed that nvidia driver kernel bug. It actually was for a while.
  Ubuntu 14.04
  Nvidia GTX 460, old iron. 
  ASRock Fata1ity amd mobo, this also used to happen on my gigabyte board over the last year and a half.
  email me if you didn't get the syslog.
