bf, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

The screen gets black after successful login, then some console output appears, then the nvidia logo, and then I am presented with the login screen again. I have tried changing the "Driver" to "Vesa" in my /etc/x11/xorg.conf, but no avail. This bug is very serious as it renders my ubuntu installation totally unusable in the current state.
