More details:
- this is on Ubuntu 12.04
- the module does load into the kernel
- lightdm does present a login screen
- nvidia-340 doesn't work on this system
- compiz fails to start (from ~/.xsession-errors):
gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal
gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly
- no amount of moving ~/.compiz* ~/.nv* ~/.cache/compiz* ~/.config/compiz* 
aside made a difference

The only thing that worked was grabbing the previous version from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

and apt-pinning it like so:
/etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia.pref 
Package: nvidia-304
Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: nvidia-current
Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
Pin-Priority: 1001

'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' now does not upgrade to
the problematic version.
