Same intermittent problem here with geforce go 7300 in dell laptop. But, I did not have any problem until I add to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

and then running sudo update-grub.

In other words, with GFXMODE disabled, I successfully started X. But, the reason I tried using GFXMODE was because I found it as a recommendation to fix the oversized splash screen on boot.

I guess I could live with the splash screen problem it I had to, but I don't use the VT's very much (actually, only when troubleshooting X problems.

hope there's a work around.
