Ok, did the synaptic bit and update manager bit.  Neither one showed any 
new packages
or upgrades to install.  Also, aptitude search shows I have everthing 
installed and have
rebooted a couple of times.  No issues except, of course, the Karmic low 
res issue.  I still
get the start up message but accept the startup in low res mode just 
this one time and
wait a bit and up comes the kdm login screen.  I sure wish Ubuntu or 
Nvidia or Hal or
dkms would fix this issue. -:o((
