Title:
  Ubuntu Lucid - White Screen when X session starts

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1) miguel@miguel-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04
  Updated to date
  2) Don't know
  3) I'm expecting the system to give an X session, but it goes to a white screen. 
  4) I get a white screen and the woraround I could find is to to the following steps

  a) CTRL + ALT + F1
  b) Login
  c) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
  d) startx

  After those 4 steps I can use the system with no other issues

  I have Compiz enabled and the video board is an nvidia: 01:00.0 VGA
  compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev
  a1)

  Even not sure if related I can recall installing the ppa for Unity ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-dx-team/une/ubuntu ) for testing purposes
