(Get the code!)
@Iain,
I had nvidia-glx-185 installed and working. I had manually patched it. I also had removed the fall_back patch as I suspected it of causing trouble. So I went from a working driver, upgraded using the ppa, and the system locked, with a blank screen. I used REISUB, attempted booting again, and this time had a quickly flashing login screen. Halfway through REISUB, before I got to B, the flickering stopped and I was able to log in to a TTY. That's when I removed, then reinstated, the fall_back patch, as I said above.
Before all that, I had installed the 190 drivers but was unable to boot on the RT kernel. So I guess it is possible that I still had some residual stuff from that.
