I have the same problem with hanging at the lo-res logo stage and I'd really like to apply the suggested remedy, but where / how do I look at the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file if I can't get the operating system to boot? Have patience with me, I'm a Windows migrant...

Re: Kubuntu hangs after nvidia driver install
If you're really clueless in Linux you should have posted your problem in the Newbie Help forum. There's a message that you should have seen when you registered here, telling you that, we provide detailed walk-throughs in a kinder, gentler way in that forum. Okay, I've switched your post to the right place.
The first question is whether or not you can see a boot menu that starts off with two lines something likeCode:Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 (recovery mode)
Now, when you hit return, you will be taken to a black and white, full screen console display. Login as your regular user. then run the commandCode:sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:Section "Device" identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]" boardname "nv" busid "PCI:1:0:0" driver "nvidia" screen 0 EndSection
Code:driver "nvidia"
Code:driver "nv"
Code:driver "vesa"

Re: Kubuntu hangs at logo
Many thanks for that! And apologies that in my haste I must have sped over the newbie reference in the introductory message, but such is my arrogance, having been a Windows user for aeons. And yes, I have never been in any doubt that my graphics card was Nvidia
