My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

I'm having the problem with updating Nvidia. After updating the driver, I logged in and got a blank screen. I can change my background, but not much else. I can't even get to the terminal to do anything.

If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, it sends me to this black screen that asks for my login and password. I've put in my correct information, but I still can't login.

What does lspci | grep VGA output? It might be the same issues a bunch of people are having with broken 3D on a certain series of nv30 hardware.

Does ubuntu-2d work?

Sadly because nvidia driver is closed source there isn't much we (people that don't work for Nvidia) can do to fix it. However the nouveau driver works well for 2d. (and the 3d rewrite in mesa is coming along)
