Public bug reported: >From http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/X/ProprietaryDrivers "Fallback testing" section
After having removed the ko file, the system does not fall back to the open source driver as expected (Xorg fails to start). The screen is black though ttys are available (CTRL+ALT+Fx).
