Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10 Beta1
nvidia-current: 280.13-0ubuntu3

It's not a minor glitch, you can hardly see anything on the screen.
I need to logout and login again to be able to see the screen again properly.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
