It is now 31/1/11 , even after all suggested updates have been installed the problem still exists. I have noted an occasional nvidia logo screen appear briefly at start up (not often). I have also had the start-up work perfectly at times. I noticed that nvidia X server settings were included in the list of start-up applications and unselected it, preventing it starting.
Up to now for four days and probably a dozen starts everything seems to be in order. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667104 Title: Screen distortion with compiz cube rotation and recommended nvidia driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
