After installing nvidia driver on a fresh installation of 9.10 Beta (Linux fr... 2.6.31-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 10 15:27:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) I got a black screen after reboot.
I had to manually erase xorg.conf and reboot to have an operational system but without any hardware acceleration.

Even though the screen was completely black I could
CTL ALT F2 to switch to the 2nd console
Login, then sudo and rm  /etc/X11/xorg.conf all this blindly. So the system itself was operational.

Results of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
