These instructions solved my problem entirely.
I have a similar bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/307073
Though I think mine is SLI related, since Xorg didn't know what to do with two 
GPUs.

[QUOTE=Cambo;6082619]I was having the same problem of X not starting up after 
installing Intrepid. (We won't go into the mess that was created trying to 
upgrade Hardy :/ )

The answer I ended up working out was to add a Busid entry in the Device
section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

To find the correct Busid, I used;

    sudo lspci | grep VGA

The output I got from this was;

    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] 
(rev a1)
    04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] 
(rev a1)

(Yes, SLI :D )

So, I then edited the Device section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read as
follows;

    Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Busid           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Driver          "nvidia"
    EndSection

A quick;

    sudo service gdm restart

and I was greeted by X running at the maximum resolution of my LCD
monitor.

Hope that helps one or two of you.
