** Description changed:

  Using proprietary nvidia drivers for GeForce 2 go on an inspiron 2650
  gives several problems:
  
  LOGIN: gdm fails to launch initially, showing black/white/single-striped screen at login/desktop (login still works in-blind), if restarted using ctrl+alt+bckspc or /etc/init.d/gdm restart, login works fine.
  WINDOW TITLES: If compiz is enabled, no window decorations shows up. Works if using metacity.
  LEAVING DESKTOP: If leaving the graphical environment using ctrl+alt+F2, ctrl+alt+bckspc or simply shutting down the computer screen blanks out and computer is unresponsive, even REISUB fails.
  
  Tested drivers:
  nvidia-glx-96 96.43.10-0ubuntu1
  nvidia-glx-71 71.86.08-0ubuntu1
+ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.11-pkg1.run (downloaded from nvidia)
+ Same symptoms on all.
