Comment 30 for bug 562565

Two new updates came out the day before; on nvidia-current and nvidia-modaliases packages. If you have been using the propriety drivers that come along with ubuntu (version 170) then after these updates your driver is brought up to date with the latest (version 195) and there is no issue of booting into low graphics. I can confirm this.

Booting however takes longer than before, and the boot ubuntu screen still shows up in low resolution by default, but this I believe can be fixed. I can confirm this bug to be fixed (at least for now) but with some side effects on the bootup time.
