xserver-xorg-video-nv is no longer the default driver for NVIDIA
graphics; it's switched to the new xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver,
which uses kernel modesetting by default.  The problem you're describing
(black screen on boot) is a kernel modesetting error (KMS).

For workarounds, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting for the
documented steps to turn off KMS.  You can install 'xserver-xorg-video-
nv' and then create an xorg.conf with the "nv" driver, or just use
"vesa" as shown on that page.


** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu)
