The best way to describe what is happening with words is to think of a video where if I grabbed my nautilus window and moved it from one side of the screen to the other. Now think of that video and I removed lots of frames in the processes so the window basically starts where I grabbed in and everything in between is lost.

I have a stock install with the Nvidia drivers that got installed during the graphical installer. I had the issue so then I installed the "Post-Release-Updates" and the problem still isn't fixed.

Lovin unity, but I haven't been able to use it since 10.xx

Any ideas?

THIS IS THE LOG AFTER INSTALLING FROM NVIDIA SITE New xorg.log

I have found out the problem is my mouse oddly enough.

I have an ASUS Republic of Gamers mouse which is probably made by Logitech or uses the same guts. Supposedly these mouses are the issue. Not sure on the actual fix, but I unplugged the sucker and restarted and all is well, but now I have no mouse besides this track pad...

It is not a bug, only a misconfiguration:

[ 11.389] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 11.389] (II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

From those two entries you can see that the NVidia driver is not loaded, instead the vesa driver is loaded. You wont have performance that way, especially not with unity.Can you have a look whether /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists and search for a section "Device" and in this section for the entry "Driver" . There you will find:

Driver "nv"

Replace this by:

Driver "nvidia"

And still the suggestion: Use the driver directly from Nvidia!!!!!!!!! The driver installation also takes care for setting up your X-Server correctly which seems to be not correct in your case.
