I know that looks overwhelming, so I'll pear that down for you... Your machine Loads DRI2 then tries to query and set a mode... But it didn't load the driver modules it needed to do that. Then errored out on a missing module. Look at your log at timestamp [ 21.2028].

Does look like "mine" loads quite a few more modules before it gets to that "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" process...
I would say this is more than likey a "bad driver" problem or confilct from a missing blacklist item (which the conflict might throw this error). More than likely, the error is correct in saying that module is missing and cannot be found.
If it were a blacklist conflict, you could just compair with mine and see if it is similar. Here's my driver blacklist at /etc/modeprobe.d/nvidia-drivers.conf
Code:
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
What still concerns me is this >
Still no joy on the hwinfo --framebuffer. I don't know how to get to a 'grub prompt'. Everything I try ends up with the "oversize recommend mode 1280x1024' error coming up on my screen. I've tried ver 10.10, 10.04, 9.04 and 8.04 -- same result. I get to the 'Install menu' - e.g. Try without Installing, Install Ubuntu, etc. Don't know what to do from there to get to a command prompt.
Meaning it could be a 3rd problem with hardware. These graphic changes didn't exit with 8.04 and progressively made changes through 11.04... Lets go one step at a time with this.
Try a 10.10 LiveCD. When it boots, the first screen that should come up is a black screen with a a little keyboard and person icon in the lower/center part of the screen... If you press <esc> or <Enter> (or dometimes just about any key at that screen) it will change from a graphics type of screen to a text type of screen with the language selection, with the menu under that box (box will cover it)..
Instead of selecting a language, press the <esc> key, the language box will disappear and leave you with the "Try, Install..." Menu (In sort of a text mode) That screen should look like the screen in Post 3... then you should be able to follow the instructions from there... If not, I'll talke you through it in more detail.
Once at a text console prompt, then we can start diagnosing this. I don't think I've seen an NVidia card that "hasn't return data back from "hwinfo --framebuffer."!!! That is just too weird!
Wait- Let me get this staraight in my head who I'm talking with.... Do you have any other OS running on your box? Windows? An earlier version of Linux? DOS? Basic Grub2?
You can get to a grub menu right? I'm assuming you can get "somewehre" as your linux kernel says"
Code:
[ 20.875] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=807daafa-33e0-414a-a2ee-d29b23f7911a ro vga=794 quiet splash vt.handoff=7
Which means somewhere along the line you added the vga=794 switch (which you can now remove as that didn't help you).
It looks like you need to purge the old drivers and reistall them,,, from a command line- But we need to get you to a commandline first!
