Low Resolution Issue Since Last Karmic Kernel Update

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Running Karmic up-to-date with kernel image 2.6.31-15-generic and 64 bit OS.
Graphics is Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with HDMI cables and PCIE slot
Monitor is LG Flatron Wide with 22" monitor and 1680X1050 @ 60HTZ native 
resolution
X has performed flawlessly since day one up until the last kernel 
upgrade using the
nvidia-glx-185 proprietary driver.  Used the -180 nvidia driver prior to 
-185 becoming
available.
Have tried all the options displayed on the startup message showing the 
startup in
low resolution mode but no joy.  Have also gone through the 
nvidia-settings bit but
again no joy.  Have gone through the display(hardware) drivers from my 
kde4 menu again no joy.
Have purged xserver-xorg-video-nv thinking it may be adding the nv 
driver and confusing
things.  Probably not the right thing to do but trying.
Strange that after the low res message on startup and selecting going to 
a console and logging in
the normal X will suddenly just start up showing the login screen after 
a few seconds but on
reboot the same low res issue appears again.  Doesn't happen 100% but 
mostly.
So, running out of ideas to fix this issue and hoping someone has some 
new ideas for me to try.
Any suggestions welcomed.  Thanks,

Len C
