After installing nvidia-current and by default the nvidia-prime drivers I am unable to login.

Originally posted on the ubuntu forums which one of the veterans specified that it's "above his skill set". Considering this issues has happened to me every time I've tried to install drivers (wiped the disk and reinstalled three times) I'd like to elevate this for further examination.

Here I posted to the ubuntu forums.
