Is there a quick workaround for this problem? The computer that I
upgraded to 10.04 is pretty useless right now.

After booting, I get a pink hazy screen, but no login prompt, no mouse
buttons working, no panels.

To log in, I:
1. hit ctrl-alt-f3
2. log in as root
3. setenv DISPLAY :0.0
4. xhost +

5. hit ctrl-alt-f4
6. log in as me
7. setenv DISPLAY :0.0
8. xfce4-panel

9. hit ctrl-alt-f7
Then I get some functionality.  The nvidia driver won't install, so I have only 
one screen at low resolution.
synaptic gets a Segmentation Fault, so it's difficult to upgrade packages (if 
any where available...).
