DeathStrikeVirus' solution (2-3 posts above) worked for me (Interpid).

Installed Ubuntu 8.10 on desktop pc with two nvidia 7900gs in sli mode.

System was running ok until I installed the close source nvidia's driver version 177. Upon rebooting gdm was not working. startx was returning error "no screens found". I managed to edit my xorg.conf with vim, saved the file and then restarted gdm and now it's working alright.

Apparently it's an issue when you have more than one gfx cards because the system doesn't know which one to use.
