@manzur: Myself, I'm just another non-technical end user, but I'm sure the developers are doing their best to fix this driver-related problem. In the meanwhile, you might want to remove visual effects from your setup, with the following command:

sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-core

In order to do this, you might e.g. want to choose "Failsafe terminal" from the login options.

@glennDecker: Don't blame yourself, I don't think it's you who has "broken your desktop". You might try removing compiz and compiz-core, too.

Another way to get into a terminal in order to pass the command is to boot into "Recovery mode" from the Grub bootloader screen. If you don't see the screen by default, you should hit "Esc" before the Ubuntu Usplash screen appears. Having chosen "Recovery mode", you should choose the root terminal option when the options screen comes up. After passing the above command, you can type "reboot".
