I've installed nvidia-current using the Additional Drivers application in Ubuntu 12.04. I need those drivers so I can use accelerated WebGL.

After installing the drivers, and rebooting X fails to start and I have a frozen system/dark screen.

Below is the content of Xorg.0.log

How can I fix this problem?
