Unfortunatly yes, but we don't know the exact reason why this is happening.

Try to do the following steps:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xfree86-dbg

stop and start gdm or if that's not possible because you can't login do
a reboot.

If the problem persists please try to use the NVIDIA from nvidia.com
and use the howto that it has been posted here on the mailing list.
