Glad you have your Lubuntu back. That was a neat trick (remove 
nvidia-current) and may I refer your method to some guys at ubuntu 
having the same problem, (gpl v2 licence ? :) )

Curiously, I don't have this problem with Kubuntu Maverick, maybe the 64 
bit xserver was sorted okay. There is a launchpad bug report on this.

And no, I don't know how we can check what driver you are using, with no 
xorg.conf; maybe others on the list can help.
