Public bug reported:

I have had two similar problems on upgrade to latest karmic: One dist-
upgrade from 9.04, the other an upgrade on an existing karmic
installation, sometime during the last few days. In both cases I was
left without a working X. As I couldn't find any information elsewhere,
I file this bug report, with simple fix, in case it is useful for
someone else.

On my Dell XPS M1330 (upgrade from 9.04 amd64), after upgrade, the
computer loops endlessly, trying to start X, with ddxSigGiveUp        in
the X log. To fix it, I started in safe mode (with networking enabled),
downloaded envyng-core (with aptitude) and ran envyng -t, installed
latest nvidia binary drivers, and reboot.

On my desktop (with GeForce 6800 GS, already running karmic), X did not
start, leaving me at a console login. Same solution though.
