Same thing here using 09/09/09 liveCD or alpha5 with a nvidia 9400M in a
dell studio 14z.

X fails to start as the video card is not recognized and I end up on a tty login prompt.
My Xorg log looks just the same as David's:
   [...]
   II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: RIVA 128, RIVA TNT, RIVA TNT2,
   [....]
   (WW) NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0866 (C79 [GeForce 9400M G]) at 02@00:00:0

Note: Workaround using alternate CD to perform install then install
nvidia-glx-185 drivers, ubuntu boots just fine.
