Hi Simon,
This bug describes a problem with fglrx drivers which are proprietary
amd drivers. It is not related to nvidia, so you should create a new bug
report.

Bryce,
This bug has been partially solved in lucid. It now doesn't make the pc
to stop responding, it logs in correctly, but the screen is corrupted a
bit (in right bottom corner and cursor as well). I'll post here a photo
of that, it's not capturable by the PrintScreen button.

Anyway, I will do apport-collect, if it may help in any way..
