Looks like it isn't finding the kernel nvidia driver. Guess when you
upgraded it updated the kernel but for whatever reason didn't rebuild
the nvidia driver. Probably if you go into grub and boot an earlier
kernel it'd work.
Try `sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*` and then reinstalling nvidia-current
via jockey. That should force it to rebuild against the current kernel.
It would be interesting to see a make.log or something to see why the
kernel module didn't get built. Have you manually installed kernels
during this timeframe?
** Description changed:
Upgraded to 12.04 beta about a week ago, display worked fine. Performed
an apt-get upgrade yesterday and now the nVidia driver won't load
anymore (both available versions in Jockey). Xorg tries to determine the
monitor on startup but fails (see attached screenshot).
Machine is Asus M50Vm laptop with nVidia GeForce 9600m GS with 1GB ram.
