(Get the code!)
I had the same error a few minutes ago.
First I installed drivers for my video card from NV website and after I installed envy package. I seems that Ubuntu recommended me 177.80 driver version and envy recommended 173 version. So i tried to change and activate 173 driver version from envy with gdm started. Envy crashed and after restart ubuntu gdm started in a low resolution. I tried to fix this but without any success. So I followed the steps from envy site:
First I redownloaded the NV driver from their website (because after I installed it i removed the installer package), then I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and I logged in with my user and password. After I logged in I make myself root by typing:
"sudo su" and pressed enter key.
I stopped the gdm by running the command:
"/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
After this I change location to my NV installer location and then run the following command:
"sh NVIDIA_
After this I started the envyng with:
"envyng -t"
and I followed the menu and when I finished I rebooted the computer.
Know it seems to recognized the NV driver (installed with Envyng - and everything works fine - except my screen refresh rate :|:|:| )
This worked for me. You can try it too, maybe will work.

If you can help me with my screen refresh rate please send an email at emilian [dot] serbanescu [at] yahoo [dot] com to provide you with more information about my display and the problem that I have.
Thank You!
