Public bug reported:

I installed the NVidia driver by using Ubuntu's jockey app
(automatically popped up by Ubuntu). The next reboot was failed to start
X and I was no longer able to use the laptop. This is an Asus K42JV
laptop with NVidia GT 335M.

As a workaround I deleted the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (it was created by
nvidia-xconfig), its content was as follows:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

As far I can check, the NVidia driver is not used by the system now.
