[ubuntu-x] Bullet-proof X ate my homework

[Rob Hughes]

Hi All,

Well, maybe not my homework, but with the latest Gutsy updates, I
rebooted to make the new kernel active, but had not yet installed the
nvidia binary driver for that kernel version. As expected, the system
came up in fallback (or whatever it's called) mode. The problem is that
after installing the driver, I couldn't find my original xorg.conf
anywhere. Also, I wasn't able to switch from the fallback mode to a
console VT in order to fix what was going on. I had to select a failsafe
xterm to get to a prompt and do a gdm stop. I assume neither of these
are expected behaviors?

Regards,
Rob
