I'm using Maverick 64 bit and have a geforce 310M card in a new dell vostro 3500 machine.
When I installed the recommended nvidia propietary drivers I get a black screen but still can login with a shell. I tried the 260.19.04 beta driver from ubuntu-x-swat PPA, but also fails. I read in the forums that the issue could be related to the EDID, so I exported my EDID in windows and pointed xorg.conf to it but without luck.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log says
"(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
 no screens found"
I'm attaching the nvidia-bug-report.
BTW, If I remove all the nvidia drivers and the xorg.conf I get usable desktop with enabled 3D effects.
