Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-current

When using ubuntu with nvidia-current drivers, any program that requires 3D acceleration (including Unity) runs for about 30-90 seconds before a total system lock-up.
I experienced the exact same problem in Ubuntu 10.10, but switched to the nvidia-193 drivers, which, it seems, are no longer available in the repositories for Ubuntu 11.04.

The simplest solution would be to make the older drivers available, or
even default for people with this card.
