[Bug 737755] Re: Natty: Cannot boot with proprietary NVIDIA driver for GeForce 8800 GT.
Today's updates (for Sat 19.march.2011) fixed a lot of things.
I did:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y upgrade
$ sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
I can now login and boot into the Unity desktop.
$ find /lib/modules/ -type f -ls -iname '*.ko' | grep -E "/nvidia-current.ko|/nvidia-173.ko|/nvidia-96.ko|/fglrx.ko"

$ grep -E "LoadModule:.*\"nvidia|fglrx\"" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 23.586] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
However the Unity-desktop is very unstable.
Sometimes windows' titlebar/border disappears. This command brings it back
$ compiz --replace &
ALT+TAB freezes the desktop.
