Bug Description
Video card: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1) "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)"
Installed ubuntu Natty 11.04 and installed proposed "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)"
nvidia-173 (version 173.14.30-0ubuntu1)
After reboot the screen became 640x480 and unity login got stuck.
Had to do "apt-get remove nvidia-173".
In jockey show this "This driver is activated but not currently in use".
nvidia-173 is the recommended driver.

I have the same issue with this NVIDIA model with 173.14.30 on Natty 11.04 . Under Additional Drivers it says, "This driver is activated but not currently in use".
