I had this problem after upgrading to 11.10. Resolved by updating the driver from 173 to "version current" as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400792.

Hey zeus-jay,

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of
Ubuntu.

I notice there's not been further comments to the bug report since the
release came out, would you mind updating us on the status of it in the
release?

Are you still able to reproduce the issue? If not, do you think the bug
report can be closed, or do you think we should continue tracking it?
