Same problem here... blank screen after installing nvidia propietary drivers.
On DELL XPX14 running GEFORCE GT420M.

I had follow all the previous indications as well as the ones from several forums and so far I just can login into my box iff I remove the xorg.conf file from /etc/X11/, no matter the configuration of my grub file.

The problem is with the ubuntu nvidia drivers i can not sett up and external monitor through HDMI (the only video output in this laptop model)

Please help will be appreciated. I have being using ubuntu since 8.04 and with the exception of a sound issue before I was pretty happy but i want to use my external monitor through HDMI and so far not even the nvidia propietary drivers install :(((
