Public bug reported: My nvidia graphic card is GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. In past only nvidia 173 drivers worked correctly. Nor 304 or others (like nouveau).
After a fresh new installation of Ubuntu 13.10 I open Software Sources (software-properties-gtk) and in tab "Additional Drivers" I select the only one driver called "nvidia-173". Later the first reboot, everything seems working good, but after turning it off and on again 2 more times, everythings black! Only an underscore blinking in the upper left. I tried CTRL+ALT+F!, etc. combinations but nothing happens. I suspect this problem happens after some Nvidia drivers updates. Now I use gnome-session-fallback (no effects) and nouveau drivers that doesn't work properly (1280x1024) and everything appears crushed (5:4 or 4:3 in a 16:9 display) but it's the only way to see ubuntu in graphic mode.
