Yeah a friend of mine installed the new Ubuntu. I'm from Gentoo.. sorry.

The bug seems to be caused by the nvidia-glx package. When I my friend installed this, and then enabled by typing the obligatory
# nvidia-glx-config enable
The package changed xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver. But it did more.
The X.org error message got preceded by a warning saying a device was found on the PCI bus without matching device section in the config file at location PCI:1:0:0
Somewhy the used PCI-device was PCI:0:5:0 instead of the AGP port, which is almost always on PCI:1:0:0.
Chaning the line from PCI:0:5:0 to PCI:1:0:0 fixed the problem for my friend.

How did this get past testing???

Thank you for reporting this bug in Ubuntu, however there is insufficient information to debug it. Please attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output from lspci -vv.
