Title:
  nvidia driver no longer works

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I have the Beta Lucid installed and all was working well with Nvidia
  and Metacity and the 'normal' Visual Effects setting up until an
  update late last week.  (This of coincided with my installation and
  attempt to use gnome-do).  After the update and or install of gnome-
  do, I can no longer use the normal or extra Visual Effects options.
  When I bring up gnome-do and attempt to turn on Docky, I am informed
  that "Your display is not properly configured for theme and animation
  support.  To use these features you must enable compositing."  When I
  check the System->Adminstration->Hardware drivers, I see that there
  are two Nvidia drivers installed:

  version 173 and version current.

  The 'version current'  is marked green and active.

  So it seems that during X Startup the compositing portion of the
  Window manager is abbending of otherwise not allowing for composite
  functionality.  Something is broken.
