Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Since X Server 1.9 update, X won't start anymore :
* Using normal boot sequence: stuck after a few seconds on splashscreen
* Using recovery mode: stuck on a black screen before the "what do you want to do" blue menu
The only way I've found to have some display is to add "nomodeset" to the recovery grub line, then launch a failsafe X session.
I'm using a Dell Vostro 1500 with a nVidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card. Tried with nouveau, nVidia 256.35 from repos, nVidia 256.44 from PPA and nVidia website, no success. "nv" driver seems to work hardly.
Relevant part of the Xorg.log :
[ 24.313] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[ 24.313] (II) Loading /usr/lib/
[ 24.313] dlopen: /usr/lib/
[ 24.317] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/
[ 24.321] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[ 24.321] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
[ 24.325] (EE) No drivers available.
[ 24.328]
Fatal server error:
[ 24.335] no screens found
same "no screens found" with nouveau, not with the exact same wording though.

Hi there, current_ 256.44 gets updated
You have three options to go:
1) wait until nvidia-
2) downgrade xorg-xserver to 1.8.2 (the maverick older version or even xorg-edgers lucid version)
3) try adding the following lines to xorg.conf (forcing nvidia drivers to obey) and reboot:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "ignoreABI" "True"
EndSection
