Ubuntu 12.10 proprietary NVIDIA drivers - video bios not available
 

Hello,

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 (separately as an upgrade, and as a fresh install) and installed the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. I tried installing the drivers both from a download off nvidia.com, and through the "system settings" applet in the "additional drivers" tab. When I reboot the system, the standard BIOS POST tests occur as usual, and the screen goes blank and displays a message: xgifb: video bios not available. The system does not appear to boot any further after this. Has anyone seen this issue?
