It seems the problem was two fold:

There was a hidden in /lib/linux-restricted-modules/ that confused Xorg byt thinking it had the wrong driver version.
I ran: sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia* and it fixed that problem.

The second problem was that GLX and Direct Rendering wouldn't load. That was caused by the XGL package still being installed.
I removed all XGL packages and the problem was solved.

I suggest that the update script should check for both of these problems, as it will probably be very common for people upgrading from Feisty to Gusty!
