RE: Nvidia Drivers... then nothing

I'm having this exact same issue. I have the newest drivers from Nvidia, and
I've tried the beta drviers too. Blank screen after boot up. Was there ever
any kind of fix for this, or do I just have to hope Nvidia starts making
drivers that are actually operational?
