    Exclamation Black screen after installing nvidia driver

    Firstly, ive searched around the forum for posts and solutions on similar issues but nothing seemed to work.
    After installing the driver for my nvidia 8400gs via hardware drivers utility, i get a weird error.
    Everytime i power on the system from a cold start, i get a black screen after the bootscreen(it flashes for a second).
    But if i reboot, the system boots into ubuntu with no probs at all.
    ive tried both the current version as well as the 173 version ( its too slow for my liking).
    But if i remove the drivers,its working properly.
    BTW,im running 10.04.

    Here is the Xorg.0.log
