I had a Ubuntu 10.04 upon which I had nvidia Proprietary Drivers,Now After upgrading the distribution to ubuntu 10.10, instead of getting to the login screen i get on the tty1 Terminal. upon logging in from tty1 and running xstart it says "Fatal error X server failed to start" how do I fix this????

Hi,

I guess you have to reinstall the nvidia proprietary driver.
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if that's the case
