Unfortunately I have already tried that and it still occurs, but not the shift and flicker, just the GL slowness. For a more relevant bug, see my other bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers/+bug/525155 -- Using NVIDIA drivers in Lucid causes display shift and fl

After removing the driver, removing xorg.conf, installing the driver using Jockey (it had to fiddle a little bit before Jockey offered me the possibility to select the binary driver, I believe I had to install some nvidia package) and after that running nvidia-xconfig solved the slowness for me.

I am still affected by the bug. One thing that may be related is the fact that no matter how many times you install the driver, Jockey reports it as "activated but not in use". For reference, another driver, nouveau, works properly and reports as "activated and in use". -- Using NVIDIA drivers in

Upon reinstalling the driver after the lagginess came back, rebooting gave me the other symptom; the random colors and the shifted vertical display. I've then booted into recovery mode, removed the newly created xorg.conf, and rebooted. At the moment, I'm running in a lowly 720x400 (not so nice if
