Bad news. Whichever driver you currently have installed is spitting out NVRM: Xid messages

That's not a great sign. If you are having strange issues like unusual pauses or never seeing X you will need to talk to whoever provided you that particular driver about that problem as it isn't an Ubuntu shipped driver...

Assuming you remove that driver, switch to the nv driver, reboot get into X and start restricted-manager it should mention that a driver is available. If it does not then could you post the output of the following:
grep 0391 /usr/share/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.20-16-generic/modules.alias.override/nvidia
