Same problem here...
On VPCS117GG. After installing a fresh copy of 10.10, did the following:
1) Modified grub and added nomodeset option (and ran update-grub)
2) Installed the recommended nvidia driver through available drivers,

Rebooted, screen flashes continuously for 4 times then blank.
3) Ran sudo nvidia-config
Rebooted, same error

4) Uninstalled nvidia*
5) removed all xorg.conf under /etc/X11 (to fall back on VESA)

Rebooted, screen works, but resolution wrong, brighntess issue, eyes hurting.
Already a problem on 10.04 (but at least nvidia-driver worked) surprised that 10.10 broke it.
