Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

My beta 2 install of 10.04 won't do anything but boot into failsafe
mode. However, it appears, based on the logs I see in /var/log/Xorg*,
that it's not even trying anymore to use nouveau. I tried deleting
xorg.conf.failsafe, but it recreates it.

Strangely enough, it worked correctly after installing from the CD; but
once I updated using apt-get dist-upgrade it no longer will start. There
are no obvious errors in Xorg.failsafe.log.

All the options provided on the screen seem to do nothing much useful;
even telling it to continue in low graphics mode just results in a login
prompt.

My controller is a:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation ION VGA (rev b1)

could that be related?
