      I would first back up your xorg.conf file, then do this:

      1. In a terminal window:
      Code:
      sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite
      and then Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart the X server.

      Assuming you have a good display (after login), then:

      2. In a terminal window:
      Code:
      sudo nvidia-settings
      and when the utility opens, click the "X Server Configuration" item, and on that panel click "Detect Displays", then make sure the resolution is set correctly for your normal desktop, leave the refresh rate set to "Auto", and click the "Save to X Configuration File" button at the lower right, and save it.

      If your login screen is still messed up after this procedure, but your desktop resolution looks good, I think you'll have to research the "splashy" posts here or on Ubuntu Forum and figure out how to change the login splash screen, such as this:
