@TIm: I have had the same issue with all recent (last four?) Ubuntu
releases on my older PNY 6800GT.  If you boot and wait, you will notice
that the X display seems to re-initialize itself at regular intervals
(every 2-3 minutes iirc).  You can try and switch to a VT as the display
tries to re-init (hit ctrl-alt-f1 mercilessly).  This has worked for me
in the past.  These days I usually just bypass X on first boot and make
a suitable 'vesa' xorg.conf by hand, then install the evil nvidia
binaries after X gets going.  Glad to see someone poking at this issue
while we wait for stable 3D nouveau support in Ubuntu.
