This has actually happened frequently in the past -- that the legacy
nvidia drivers get abandoned for a time.  Previously, the problem had
always eventually gotten fixed.  However, this is something that we
should warn people about.  At least in my experience, using the
nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick will not allow you any graphic
capabilities.  You will be dropped to a command line, but will not be
given a chance to switch to lower graphic capabilities, as in previous
versions of Ubuntu.  (In Lucid and some previous releases, when nvidia
was not working, it would ask to use low-graphics mode.  This does not
happen in Maverick, even though I have nv and nouveau installed)
