Well, I am definitely glad I decided to report this bug as it seems very evident that I was not the only one affected by it. I am very grateful for all your support in trying to help me fix my problem. The Ubuntu community is definitely one of the main reasons why I decided to migrate to Linux from Windows and over the past month I have really come to love being part of such community. I only hope that as time goes on I can be of great help to others who might be asking questions to answers I might have. Unfortunately, for now, as much as I hate to say it, I have thrown in the towel and given up on finding a fix for my bug. I upgraded another computer (my friend's eMachines ET1161 desktop) and again I ran into some unfortunate issues with the Nvidia graphics card. The problem on her computer was not as bad as it was on mine, but it was still enough to leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. On her computer everything really seemed to be working perfectly fine (unlike mine, which seemed to be completely broken). However, I noticed that her 3D graphics effects acceleration was not up to par when compared to how it used to be when she was running the Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick version. As a matter of fact, even though the 'most recent Nvidia driver' had been successfully installed, for some reason I couldn't get it to actually work. I tried a couple of different tricks and every time I would get the same message saying that the driver was installed but not being used at the time (kind of weird, right?). Since, my friend is a great artist (paintings, drawings, photography, video, graphics), we decided that it would be in her best interest to have a working graphics driver so we reverted back to Ubuntu Studio 10.04 LTS. She is now happy and completely worry free. As for me, I have also decided to go back to using the really STABLE Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When I was using Maverick (10.10) everything was fine but since it is not a long term release I figured it would be best to stick to Lucid Lynx since that release is a Long Term Release and Maverick isn't. I unfortunately gave up on trying to work with the new Natty. Hopefully they'll get it right by the time that Oneiric Ocelot comes out in October and get this thing fixed. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it. If the Nvidia drivers had been working just fine, I don't quite understand why things had to change with this latest Ubuntu release. Thanks again to everyone who took interest in my bug report.
