(Get the code!)
UPDATE.....
Well, I booted the system several times and changed the res too and all went well. So I got fat and sassy. I decided to add 200+ MB of updates. Oh, yeah. I am new to Linux but I am thinking that maybe the new kernel brought the computer to its knees. I am back in low res for the time being. Tomorrow I will first retry the 'Bailey' fix. If that doesn't work. I will dump all the Nvidia stuff and try again. If that doesn't work I will do the Mike Smith long fix.
Now I realize I should have done the updates first and then do the 'Bailey fix.'
But we do know there is a way out of the wilderness. The issue is fixable with files we can get at now. That is a huge improvement over what was possible a week ago for me.
Tomorrow I will post what I find out for my attempts at 'fixing' this issue.
And Chahapa, thanks for the Nvidia logo solution.
Lastly, I just wish Ubuntu developers would show up to finally and correctly resolve this Nvidia issue. The Nvidia drivers seem fine, it is the Ubuntu code that is killing us.
How wise is it to put out a new revision to an Operating System every six months? Think about it! I am not dissing Ubuntu. But Ubuntu should slow down and put a better revisions. Folks cling to XP because it was stable, predictable, known and well seasoned.
