Hello,
Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
As well, what happens when you run a screensaver from the command prompt
with your nVidia drivers? Does /usr/lib/xscreensaver/gears display
anything but a blank screen?
Please attach the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Hi Simon,
I'm running edgy, I'll attach the files you've asked for and run gears if it
recurs and let you know. As far as I'm aware this xorg.conf.backup is the one
with the problem, though it stopped working after the problem, hence the

These two files are the .old ones, but to be honest I'm not sure they
are actually descriptive of the problem, if it recurs I'll let you know
but also file it with nVidia, the more I think about it the more it
seems to be their problem.
Regards,
Chad
