I still can't boot normally. I tried uninstalling (sudo aptitude remove nvidia-current) and reinstalling the nvidia drivers. That didn't change anything. I tried purging nvidia. That didn't work. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling xorg to no avail. In fact, the problem is a little worse now. I can boot to the login screen and if I try to login it almost immediately takes me back to the same login screen. The only way to get to a terminal now is to boot into recovery mode from GRUB.
