system boots fine, login screen is fine, then you login and screen goes black. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 then the screen gets all sorts of random static as if something is happening. Then press Ctrl-Alt-F7 and after a couple seconds the desktop shows up and everything works great.
Jaunty Alpha 4 on HP Pavilion dv9000 using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180) [Recommended] from the Hardware Drivers menu.
This is the first alpha on which I have been able to get video working at the correct resolution even after custom building the driver in prior versions and doing the ABI fix. So things are definitely getting better. A coworker is having the exact same issue on Alpha 4 on another HP laptop, although a third HP laptop is not having the issue.

Hi I updated today the nvidia driver from version 177 to 180, this in order to solve an other bug.
Since I upgraded the nvidia drivers I have the same bug.
After the login the screen became black, I can hear the login sound etc, I can left click with the mouse on the screen (and after discover that I did) but the screen is completely black.
The only solution is opening a terminal ctrl-alt-F1 (the terminal is fine, I can perfectly see it) and than switch to the GUI using alt-F7.
My system is: Ubuntu 8.10
