Hello, I'm new in the forum, and I come here hoping to find a solution to a quite rare problem.
First I'll tell I've done with my operating system:
1. Yesterday, Instalation of Ubuntu 10.0.04 64bits
2. With a new and fresh installation of Ubuntu, then install everything you to run CUDA (nVidia geforce GT520M) with a tutorial (I don't know if i can paste a link to another page, if you want to see the tutorial for some reference, please tell me.)
3. After reboot, a message in a gray window appeared, "Linux is running in low graphics mode, blah blah" (I think you know what gray window I mean), I select the option "Reconfigure graphics", then, "Create new configuration", and "restart X". Everything continue normal. Then, I made a new "guest" account, then, I went to sleep.
4. Today, when I try to run CUDA in terminal, an error appeared that said:
"Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."
"freeglut (./smokeParticles): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'"
So, I look for some solutions on the Internet. The solution that I found was run nvidia-xconfig, and that was I did.
5. To finish, I run Update Manager, obviously, to update my system... REBOOT :(
6. Again, a gray windows appeared after reboot that said some error about loading nVidia driver. (driver not found, I did the same thing that the previous gray windows)
.. and that is what I get after reboot and login

The weird part of this is that, when I login in my account the desktop background appears correctly, and after 2 or 3 seconds it turns upside down.
When I login in the guest session, everything is OK... Why? Is an error in a configuration file in the main account?
Thanks in advance for the support.
