I'm seeing this happen immediately after a fresh installation; I never
explicitly chose the proprietary NVidia drivers, but did select the
general option to install proprietary drivers, which leads me to suspect
it did go ahead and install them.

After the GRUB boot loader finishes, the screen drops into "power-saving
mode" and can never be woken again short of a reboot, that I've found.
Booting into recovery mode shows the text-mode kernel boot messages fly
by, then the screen drops in the same way. I never get either a text
shell or an X login screen. Ctrl+alt+F1 etc to switch VTs has no
discernable effect.

Running a fresh 64-bit 10.10 desktop release CD. Video is an NVIDIA
Quadro® NVS 295. Using one DVI monitor connected through a
Displayport->DVI adapter; I've tried both ports and double-tested with
two known-good monitors.

The desktop installer CD itself boots just fine. Under 10.04 this
machine worked ok with stock drivers and with proprietary drivers pulled
from Nvidia directly.
