Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 from daily image (29/02/2012), everything worked fine then I received the pop-up to install Restricted drivers which I did and after rebooting I noticed that all the fonts were blured like if the resolution was set incorrectly.
I ran nvidia-settings to check that the definition was definitely my LCD default 1680x1050 and everything appears to be fine. I also tried the driver nvidia-current-updates and it does absolutely the same. My card is a Nvidia 9800GT and it has always worked fine with the Nvidia driver. My xorg.conf contains the following: Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection I have attached my xorg log file. Please let me know if you need anything else, I can only test during UK evening times. I also want to mention that this is a re-install, I had a Precise install before that had the same problem and I wanted to make sure that re-installing it wouldn't fix the bug (it didn't, at least while the nvidia driver is installed, it seems to work fine with Nouveau).
