Title:
  Oneiric 11.10 NVidia Proprietary Drivers Uninstallation Bug

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Just upgraded to Oneiric 11.10.

  After installing and then unistalling NVidia proprietary drivers on my
  machine (Dell XPS 502x), Unity 3D could not be booted, and the system
  fell back to Unity 2D after login.

  Bug Reproduction

  1) From additional drivers, select "NVidia-version-current" and press "Activate".
  2) Restart system (optional - skip to save time)
  3) From additional drivers, select "NVidia-version-current-updates" and press "Activate"
  4) Restart system
  5) From additional drivers, select "NVidia-version-current-updates" and press "Remove"
  6) Restart system

  Now, normally, after step 6, my computer should return to its factory
  condition (Unity 3D worked just fine after upgrading to 11.10).
  Instead, the system boots to Unity 2D, although at login I made sure
  "Ubuntu" was selected (instead of "Ubuntu 2D").
