OK I am back in this topic, and I believe the problem might be related to the driver I am using. Anybody used the 280 series of the nvidia driver? (the general use one, not the CUDA specific driver)...

Like I previously said, trying to install the 270.XX driver for CUDA works, but I get a black screen at login time (when X loads) and the X server crashes... Tonight I'll retry installing the CUDA driver and try to boot with it, and if it fails, I'll post the details of the X log.

In the meantime, anybody thinks the driver is NOT the problem?
