Leaving the xorg.conf in place, commenting out the 'Driver' line, also
allows driver fallback (nvidia to nouveau) to work correctly.
And the color depth is 24 (verified in Xorg.0.log), in both cases:
whether nvidia is used, or if it falls back to nouveau.

@Martin
Removing xorg.conf in Natty won't prevent the xserver from loading nvidia and
will also set DisplayDepth to 24, thanks to a patch that we included in the
xserver.
What we still need in xorg.conf is the Nologo option, otherwise users
will see the Nvidia logo every time the xserver
Alberto, Bryce, Chris, do we even need to explicitly set the nvidia
driver in xorg.conf these days? I thought X.org would prefer nvidia
over nv/nouveau now, so perhaps the easiest thing here would be to fix
the jockey handler to not set the driver at all?

@Martin: Indeed, xorg.conf is not necessary, i've just removed it and
Xorg started using the nvidia driver. The only difference i've noticed
is that the nvidia logo shows up for an instant when X starts, because
the option NoLogo defaults to false.

I tested Matin's suggestion. The fallback works properly if
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is simply not present.
I moved the nvidia-current.ko aside, restarted. The X.org.0 shows that
the order of preference for the autoconfigured drivers is: 0: nvidia 1:
nouveau 2: nv 3: vesa 4: fbdev. In this case,

Thanks. That's actually kind of surprising, as in the past we at least
needed to set DisplayDepth to 24, and some other bits.

Just followed the test again and this time I also tried booting using
recovery mode.
Ubuntu booted up just fine. When an option to continue with failsafe X was
offered I took it and then chose to run Ubuntu in low graphic mode.
Then I run gksudo jockey-gtk and jockey said that the nvidia driver

Also affects Natty development branch on MacBook Pro. Hangs on splash
screen, without any fallback to the nv or nouveau or any other video
driver. Works fine again when the driver file is put back where it
belongs.

If the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is removed, then it does correctly load the
default (nouveau) driver, but if the xorg.conf wants to load the nvidia
driver and that fails, then it doesn't fallback to nouveau like it
should.

I don't think this will get addressed as the driver is proprietary and
this kind of behavior may depend on hardware configuration. We need to
focus on addressable bugs in the end game.
