Hi.
I tryed to update my ubuntu (10.04) from this ppa https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/
because on my new laptop i can't change backlight. That ppa contain freshest nvidia drivers.

After update i can't load my ubuntu, getting freezed boot screen with ubuntu logo and dots under it that not changed.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Maybe i can rollback all updates from certain ppa somehow?

To revert to official packages, you can install the ppa-purge package and run
sudo ppa-purge ubuntu-x-swat If you have driconf it is recommended to remove ~/.drirc when changing versions!
