Shreepad S, 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

Thanks! Actually the NVidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-current, v295.40) installed from the repos under 'safe mode' are working fine for me! Of course I was able to do this action because I had the integrated Intel graphics, when switched to NVidia card it was all garbage on the screen... --
