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)

and from /var/log/gdm/:0

I tried to roll back even further to try and get nearer and nearer the
live cd downgrading to the following from tribe 5:

gdm_2.19.6-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
libx11-6_1.1.1-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb
libx11-data_1.1.1-1ubuntu3_all.deb
libxinerama1_1.0.2-1build1_amd64.deb
linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.22.3-10.1_all.deb
linux-restricted-modules-generic_2.6.22.10.11_amd64.deb

x11-common_7.2-5ubuntu6_amd64.deb
xauth_1.0.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
xbase-clients_7.2-5ubuntu6_all.deb
xorg_7.2-5ubuntu6_amd64.deb
xserver-xorg_7.2-5ubuntu6_all.deb
xserver-xorg-core_1.3.0.0.dfsg-6ubuntu3_amd64.deb

xset_1.0.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
xsetmode_1.0.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
xutils_7.2-5ubuntu6_all.deb

However this didn't fix the issue i had with gdm.
