Same problem despite that before installing the drivers, I installed a non PAE kernel version (kernel 3.2.0-35-generic, Ubuntu 12.04, CPU Intel Atom N2800), I installed GDM and add "video=LVDS-1:d" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable in grub. It make the same effect (a blazck screen while installing the drivers, and a black screen forever) without these chnages, after a fresh install.
