Public bug reported:

I attempted to enable the nVidia driver through the
"System"=>"Administration"=>"Additional Drivers" panel.  After the
"Searching", "Installing" phase it requests a reboot.  Although the
Ubuntu boot splash displays, X never comes up, and it dumps you to the
console login.  The only way I was able to get X to come up was to
remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot.

The card info (from lspci) is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)

I'm including the Xorg
The stderr output from startx is:

I'm attaching the Xorg log as an attachment due to its size.
