Thanks to eMcE's hack, I succeeded in getting my screen back. Still, there one glitch : Upon restarting, it went on the console, because it could not find the nvidia driver. I guess it was because I installed nvidia-current alongside nvidia-96. The solution was to choose nvidia-96 driver instead of nvidia-current (for my video card, I use the "96" driver).
Please note that before eMcE's last step (Restart), I did edit my xorg.conf file to put it back the configuration that worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04. The steps were: 1. Start Ubuntu on recovery mode 2. On the ugly menu, choose "failsafe mode for one session only" 3. When logged in, go to Menu -> System -> Administration ->Hardware Drivers 4. You should see two drivers, the "NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers (version current)" (which is "green", i.e., "in use", and the "NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers (version 96) [Recommended]" which is not used. 5. Select "NVIDIA accelerated graphic drivers (version 96) [Recommended]" and Activate it (the button on the down right of the window) 6. Restart 7.
