I am having troubles getting X working with NVIDIA drivers. I am installing from 10.10 Alternative CD with networking. Once fully installed, I add NVIDIA PPA...
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
...and then click on the notification telling me I have access to proprietary hardware drivers, which I chose the recommended version and use.
Upon restart, the boot screen is different. It's not as high resolution and when I am prompted to enter my LVM encryption key, it doesn't look as fancy as when the original drivers were in use. Also, once the password is entered, it shows the message "Checking battery state" and immediately turns to a black screen. (No flickering of the monitor or anything)
I then restarted and used the recovery cli to make sure that xorg.conf existed (which it did)...
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
...and took a snap shot of my Xorg.0.log:

Xorg.0.log.old (which is larger) is available here.
I then tried starting x in the following manner to capture output:
Code:
startx &> startx.log
which returned absolutely nothing when I started X.
I am unsure what could be causing this problem. I hope that the information I have provided is enough to get a little help. If not, please tell me where I may be able to find more information to solve this problem.

I ran nvidia-xconfig and tried the following xconfig with no real change:
