noob i dont know if this is where i should post this seeing how old this post is but regarding OP, same is true with xubuntu 14.04 64 bit msi nvidia gt240, mb dg9650t with integrated intel video, with nvidia legacy binary driver v. 304.119 and 304.117, nvidia binary driver 331.38 and 331.49... pressing F1 repeatedly at the blinky courser will usually let me in if the shift key won't open grub.
