Alpha 3 or Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit has this problem. After a standard installation, NVIDIA version 280.13 is being used. And NVIDIA X Server Settings is also installed.
The Additional Drivers dialog says No proprietary drivers are in use and offers NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current). Selecting Activate gives dialog error: SystemError: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
