Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10

xserver-xorg: 1:7.6+7ubuntu7

lspci -nn | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] [10de:0641] (rev a1)

When booting Ubuntu after a fresh install for the first time, the screen
just goes to black after GRUB. According to a bugreport at redhat
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480393) this is because of
x-orgs auto-detection. When nvidias vendor-code is seen, xorg will
default to nv/nouveau. Neither work on my machine.

My workaround was booting from a live-cd, chrooting into the ubuntu-
install and installing nvidia-current(-updates) from there.
