@Jack, there are millions of reasons why X might not start. The one that produced the bug in this case related to an update of libc6 that caused a problem, that was fixed in a later version. This bug affected all hardware that used the nvidia driver version 185. As I am using this driver in an up to date karmic, I am mostly sure this bug hasn't regressed. You should look if your bug has been reported by someone else, and if it hasn't, then report one yourself. Remember you should follow this guidelines in doing so:
