I also have this problem :(
What I did was uninstall those packages that you mentioned and
downloaded the latest drivers from the nVidia site
(http://www.nvidia.com) and installed them.

In order to do this you have to do the following:
1. Install the kernel headers that correspond to your currently
installed kernel
2. Install gcc-3.4. I don't know why the kernel is compiled with gcc-3.4
since Ubuntu has gcc-4.0, so you gotta install that
3. Press ctrl+alt+F1 and login using your username and password
4. Run the command: $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
5. Now to the install of the nVidia drivers you must specify that
gcc-3.4 gets used by executing the command as follows:

	$ CC=gcc-3.4 sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run

Once they have finished installing you must do the changes to the
xorg.conf file:
1. Use your favorite text editor, like vim, nano, etc
	$ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. Comment the line: Load "dri"
3. Switch every instance of nv with nvidia

Now restart gdm:
	$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

Everything should be working now :)
The only drawback to this is that everytime you update the kernel you
must reinstall the nVidia drivers, if I'm wrong then someone please
correct me ;)
