Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1 AMD 64-bit optimized build on a GeForce (maybe any NVIDIA?)
2) Install either of the video drivers that Ubuntu suggests (NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver version 173 or version 185)
3) Reboot

Expected Results:
Ubuntu reboots and everything loads just fine

Actual Results:
Ubuntu boots only the command-line on a black screen instead of X

Extra Information:
I know and can vouch for the fact that (version 185 of the graphics driver works great on Ubuntu 9.10) There is a newer graphics driver available that requires a complicated manual install. I have not tried it, but it might not break X, like versions 173 and 185.
