I just looked over my xorg.conf and saw something strange:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Failsafe Device"
        Boardname       "vesa"
        Busid           "PCI:2:0:0"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Screen  0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Failsafe Monitor"
        Vendorname      "Plug 'n' Play"
        Modelname       "Plug 'n' Play"
<resolutions removed for brevity>
        Gamma   1.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Failsafe Device"
        Monitor         "Failsafe Monitor"
        Defaultdepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth   24
                Virtual 1792    1344

        EndSubSection
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
EndSection

somehow whilst migrating to Gutsy, I wound up in failsafe video mode.
I've re-run Envy to reset the drivers and xorg.conf, but this nasty
little bit is still there.  My nVidia control panel sees my monitor and
card correctly, and the hardware works correctly (3d acceleration,
proper resolution, etc.) when logged in. The login screen is only
rendered at low resolution with the ability to scroll around a larger
virtual resolution.  I will post back if replacing this with an older
(working) display and vid card section works.
