Updated to 270.41.03 from the X Updates PPA, it still results in the same 
problem. Disabling vesafb also made no difference.
I’ve done some research myself and found this thread in the nv forums:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=134271
It suggests the pci addresses are somehow messed up. The suggested fix (# 
setpci -s 01:00.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xf2000000) makes me able to modprobe 
nvidia-current, but restarting gdm leaves me with no graphics at all (I was 
able to navigate the console and reboot blindly)

It was working perfectly for me with maverick (x64) (+ all updates) and
broke with natty (I moved to x86 this time).
