I've done some more investigation; Downgrading the following packages
./xserver-xorg_7.2-5ubuntu6_all.deb ./xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-6ubuntu3_amd64.deb ./xserver-xorg-input-all_7.2-5ubuntu6_amd64.deb Allowed me to get as far as starting X with xinerama and nvidia (no crash this time unlike initial report). unfortunately gdm breaks instead: The program 'gdm' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 1 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) gdm[9191]: WARNING: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 0) The program 'gdm' received an X Window System error.
