I've got the same problem and I can't handle it. I used my machine in the evening, no modifications have made to it, synaptic, apt-get, automatix, aptitude were not run, and the next morning strange things occured! While the OS was booting as usually, lot of @ signs appeared. Yet I was not affraid, since I've seen them while X was booting. But the Xserver didn't want to boot. Often the above was the only message I got, but the console was running great, so I could log in. And an other strange thing is that if I reinstall the nvidia driver, and give the startx command, X boots and the graphical interface works again. Next reboot or shutdown kill the things again, and the game begins! Reinstall nvidia driver, startx! I'm using Edgy! Someone please help me!
