Kent Tong, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg <replace-with-bug-number> Thank you for your understanding.

It works fine using the open source driver. But if I install the nvidia driver, the display manager works (can login), but then only the wallpaper is shown, i.e., there is no unity panel. I've tried different ways of installing the nvidia driver (the kernel source and headers are also installed): 1) using nvidia-current (http://askubuntu.com/questions/207578/do-nvidias-drivers-work-in-12-10) . 2) using nvidia-current-updates (http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10?rq=1). 3) using the one downloaded from nvidia. They all seem to have the same result. In .xsession-errors, there are messages saying: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Running glxinfo shows the same error.
