Gosh.... I have to press the 2 key in my password and I have to login
always twice... Also for me this is the closest description of the
behaviour I have managed to find.

Environment: Ubuntu lucid, NVIDIA OR NV drivers.
Signs: Screen shows "distorted" pixels on top left.

IF I see a non perfect screen (some key sequence seems to be sent to terminal) and I press the key "2", the X server restarts. No strange signs on logs (ending on request).
Second time I always get a perfect gdm login screen and I can login successfully. Never happens again, even if I logout and login again.

SEEMS some spurious characters coming out from startup are pushed to tty7, and "request" a gdm restart AFTER the key "2" pression.
This is mostly an annoyance for me, but for sure can hide something more serious.
