I have solved the problem from Nick B.'s suggesting to a related problem in Firefox 3 in this thread.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted- modules-2.6.24/+bug/212648 It also references this thread which provides an updated libwfb from nvidia which resolves this issue. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=112098 To temporily fix the problem download the updated libwfb and then copy it over to your /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory, and then create a new symbolic link to libwfb. $ wget http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/wfb/Linux-x86_64/libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08 $ mv libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ $ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.173.08 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so Restart xorg and everything should function normally.
