Using proprietary nvidia drivers for GeForce 2 go on an inspiron 2650
gives several problems:
LOGIN: gdm fails to launch initially, showing black/white/single-striped screen
at login/desktop (login still works in-blind), if restarted using
ctrl+alt+bckspc or /etc/init.d/gdm restart, login works fine.
WINDOW TITLES: If compiz is enabled, no window decorations shows up. Works if
using metacity.
LEAVING DESKTOP: If leaving the graphical environment using ctrl+alt+F2,
ctrl+alt+bckspc or simply shutting down the computer screen blanks out and
computer is unresponsive, even REISUB fails.
Tested drivers:
nvidia-glx-96 96.43.10-0ubuntu1
nvidia-glx-71 71.86.08-0ubuntu1
