Dell Precision M60 Laptop w/ Nvidia Go700FX video. Upgraded in place
from 10.10 to 11.04. Started system, logged in, got to the desktop. Can
see cursor but the screen seems to be slowly rolling. There is nothing
on the desktop, no Unity. Try to get to virtual console and see a white
screen with black deformed text. It appears I can log in but I can't
read what I'm typing.

Tried a fresh install and encountered the same problem. The upgrade and
fresh install bricked this laptop. I suspect the problem has to do with
the Nvidia card. 11.04 fresh installed fine on my Dell Precision M65
which is newer kit.
