Public bug reported: I have a Nivida Geforce 7600 GS on a machine used infrequently. A month of so ago it worked fine, recent updates have broken the graphics drivers.
It can boot to the login screen which looks OK, but is almost unresponsive bringing up a desktop. Even for a guest login. Once loaded, graphics are corrupt with icons etc showing mostly random coloured pixels. All package are up to date. Purging all the nvidia drivers and using the nouveau drivers works fine, enabling a normal login. I have checked the nvidia site and this driver is the most recent that supports my graphics card.
