Too bad, i remember reading something about the same issues, black screen with only mouse working that should be solved by upgarding to one of this beta drivers. Sadly I can't find it back now, althought it wasn't specific to hp dv5 pavilion series, more to nvidia IIRC.
Another time, i don't know what I did but instead of the black screen I had my desktop back, but the windows (firefox, nautilus, etc.. were greyed out and my icons on the panels were red crosses in squares. Nothing responded apart from the mouse movements. Switching tty or Ctrl+alt+backspace gave me the same error code ata1:....
