So ran into the problem again. Uninstalled nvidia-current and nvidia-settings. Back to the same work around as described in comment #19. And nv isn't open, its proprietary. But is stable. I am not going to try nouveau as it still doesn't support 3D fully and I am just fine with 2D, which nv provides.

Maybe this problem is because I had installed nvidia drivers manually. Maybe a fresh install of 11.04 will make the problem go away. But I don't have the motivation to do that and am happy with nv.
