Public bug reported:
An upgrade from Lucid to Maverick led to a change from nvidia driver to nouveau.
The nouveau drivers seems to work fine part from not being able to enable the
compiz desktop effects.
Using the nvidia driver means that the default kernel 2.6.35-14-generic will
lockup on boot (this is also the case for the recovery mode option, by the way).
In this scenario, with nvidia specified in xorg.conf, I had to rely on an old
mainline kernel that I had to install to boot in graphics failsafe in order to
alter the xorg.conf to allow booting with nouveau again.
Happy to test as directed to locate the issue.
