This may help:

The first hit said the 108.11 driver was the latest recommended driver. Sorry, haven't installed jaunty yet so can't comment on it.  However, it's not too uncommen having to install a newer driver
especially after a new kernel is installed or perhaps it's a bug. If it were me I'd do an 'aptitude search nvidia' to see what is availabe in the proprietary drivers that might suit you needs.  Also, reboot in recovery mode and select xfix, let it run to completion, then continue the boot and it might fix X. I assume that xfix is still there in Jaunty beta.  You might also google for your video chip+jaunty and perhaps locate the specific nvidia module recommended for our card/chip.  there are lots of googling possibilities that may help solve your problem.
