Unfortunately that didn't do it. I tried an all new xorg.conf, deleted nvidia-settings-rc, and starting x from terminal, but still the problem persists. Sometimes in the terminal i see lots of messages like E: SLEEPING. If I used the nouveau driver instead of nvidia, i can get to a low-res desktop for the root user, but normal user account still has a dead screen.
