Comment 14 works with Nvidia when using the nouveau driver, but not the Nvidia driver 367.57 (black screen). Starting an xterm allows you to run other things, even unity. Using the nouveau driver, login to vt2 and run: xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 vt2 Result is a white background xterm, fully functional when cursor is over it.
