New nVidia proprietary driver is available from nVidia.

Today, many updates were available from system update, including the new nVidia driver. I installed the updates, which went normally. I restarted. I got a popup message informing me that a restricted driver was available. I activated it. It downloaded from the Ubuntu repository again and installed. I restarted. I activated the "Normal" effects. They work. Then I did 10 consecutive warm restarts of Ubuntu. All 10 detected the screen resolution correctly. No low resolution startups. This problem seems to have been fixed by nVidia's new driver. (Updated title of this bug.)
