Private bug reported: This problem was also in Ubuntu 11.04 and I don't know exactly its reason, maybe it's related to Xorg..I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 but the problem is still present..when I quit or restart Ubuntu, it appears a purple screen that never goes off and I have to manually turn off the laptop with the phisical button..I installed the X-Updates ppa and the problem still happens..I also tried the recommended driver, the current, the current-updates, but it didn't work.. my video card is Nvidia 9600m gt..
