Every time I restart, I'm forced into the low graphics mode. My drivers are still installed, I still have Nvidia X server settings. But I cannot change any options. I'm forced to reinstall the driver.
Oddly, after the X server restarts (I have to stop it to install the drivers) all of my settings go back to what they are supposed to be.
My xorg.conf:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder58) Thu Jul 17 18:39:00 PDT 2008
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder58) Thu Jul 17 18:39:42 PDT 2008
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
