Just finally got my upgrade to the newest kernel to work and my resolution changed. Funny enough this is only hours after getting my login screen resolution problem solved. Anyways I went to open nVidia X Server to change the resolution again after the upgrade and I got this error:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

I ran "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and got this:

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

But after when I restarted my computer and ran nVidia X Server again I got the same error as above. Any ideas?
