If you move the configuration file out of the way like this then it will boot ok
cd /etc/X11
sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.nv1conf

Login into the console by entering your username and password for your ubuntu machine.
after enter
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

If you want to put it back to how it was before you used my commands
do the opposite ....
cd /etc/X11
sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.nv1conf
All the command did was to move the xorg.conf out to see if it was the xorg.conf
that was causing problems .... I do this on mine as the flat screen TV will not pick up
from boot up with the Nvidia driver set to run from it.
So to put it back as it was at the beginning .... just do this below .....
cd /etc/X11
sudo mv xorgnv1.conf xorg.conf
Then its as it was to start with .....
The other commands that were given will not cause any problems either
startx basically starts the x server ( which gives you the graphic display )
and gdm .... is the ( gnome desktop manager ) ......
__________________________________________________ ____
The thing you are missing is a valid display mode .......
What else did you do before running
nvidia-xconfig
as all that that one command does is to create the xorg.conf
__________________________________________________ __________
So nothing has really changed unless you installed a new Nvidia Driver at
some point .......
You can always re-install the latest Nvidia driver - if your internet
connection is working ok ..... by doing the following.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo nvidia-xconfig
Then reboot your computer ......
