Dell Latitude E6520 Laptop
System had a working nvidia-304 driver package installed (304.88-0ubuntu0.0.3)
A regular system update installed, build and activated nvidia-304-updates (304.108-0ubuntu0.0.1)
The new driver does not blacklist nvidia-304 which is still available at /lib/modules/3.2.0-57-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_304.ko
Depending on which driver is found first on the filesystem, it is possible that udev loads the wrong driver at system boot. (Driver detection and loading based on pci-aliases found in the system).
Xorg.0.log shows:
