Bug Description
Upgraded to 12.04 beta about a week ago, display worked fine. Performed an apt-get upgrade yesterday and now the nVidia driver won't load anymore (both available versions in Jockey). Xorg tries to determine the monitor on startup but fails (see attached screenshot).
Machine is Asus M50Vm laptop with nVidia GeForce 9600m GS with 1GB ram.

Apport did not include the Jockey logfile but it might contain relevant information as Jockey-gtk is unable to activate any of the two nVidia drivers. Jockey logfile is attached.
