If I only knew about that problem before upgrade I have just made few hours ago :( (10.04.1->10.10) Now I'm stuck with nv driver, as nouveau is so slow on my machine, that even moving mouse pointer over menus makes lag. That's really bad, I hope nvidia-96 binary drivers will work with Ubuntu 10.10 as soon as possible.

Here is what Xorg.0.log says:
