The upgrade received today on Lubuntu 14.10 has fully resolved this problem.
Nvida-304.123 works OK now.
My thanks to the dev team.

After purging driver NVIDIA-304 I got my desktop back with the default
nouveau driver. However opening Firefox rapidly caused a screen freeze.
The older NVIDIA-173 did the same after installing and rebooting. I
therefore switched back to NVIDIA-304.123 from the list and again no
GUI...
So now I know (a) the absence of GUI was caused by the driver and (b)
none of the recommended video drivers for Lubuntu 14.10 beta can be
used on this Geforce 6100 card.
For Lubuntu 14.04 (and 14.10 alpha) the recommended NVIDIA-304.117
does not cause any problems.

Is there a command to switch back from nvdia 304 to the default
graphic driver? Just to see whether this will gives me a GUI.
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall doesn't work

Reinstalled the latest ISO of Lubuntu 14.10 i386 today. After
updating/upgrading and installing NVDIA 304 driver, the blank screen
problem persists and thereafter I can only enter terminal mode after
alt-F1.

Hi Israel
the output is: lightdm is already the newest version
(no upgrade or install done)
I recall that I had to install all versions of lubuntu on this PC
(with Geforce 6100/nForce 405 graphic card) with nomodeset and
installed the nvdia driver 304 thereafter, because of immediate
screen freezes without nomodeset. Perhaps there is a link to my
problem of the latest update of 14.10.

It may be helpful to find out why and what error messages happen
when startx is used so people can understand what the error is.
Hi Henk,
That is truly an odd error to have.. it is almost as if no display
manager is installed.
Can you double check to make sure you have a display manager
installed?
Simply,
sudo apt-get install ligthdm
Should be enough to get an idea.
Usually the display manager takes care of hooking the tty to X.
This is just my first guess here...
