Comment 4 for bug 373352

I'm running 10.04 (presently kernel 2.6.32-38-generic but the newest one is installing now) and the latest NVidia driver (VIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 285.05.09 Fri Sep 23 17:31:57 PDT 2011). Through several kernel updates and several driver updates over the last six months at least, whenever a new kernel comes by the system wants to drop to safe mode. I found that if I 'exit to console', then re-run the NVidia driver installer as root, the problem is fixed until next time.

A possibly related piece of info: whenever I log in, I get a message that says "the X server does not support the resolution requested". But everything proceeds to work fine. I'm running dual 1680x1050 monitors.
