I will try to explain the best I can, but I'm not a native English talker..

I had the proprietary drivers installed with the Nvidia Instaler (from Nvidia website). But, after the day 15 updates, the "Desktop Manager" only works if I activate the drivers via estricted-manager.

So what I did was:

1º Uninstalled the nvidia drivers.

2º Reconfigured xorg with: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" to remove all personalized options.

3º Installed the proprietary drivers using the restricted-manager.

After doing that, my xorg become broken. And to enter the graphical mode I had to edit xorg.conf and change the driver from nvidia to nv... But that way I don't have 3D...

The only way that 3D works on my PC is with the Nvidia Installer (from Nvidia website), but with that solution the restricted-manager doesn't detect that I have the drivers and wont let me use things like the Desktop Effects.
