This bug still an issue on my work PC which is a Dell E521, AMD64 dual
core + GeForce 7300 LE Kubuntu Hardy 32

After recent updates, I can now select the NVIDIA driver in Hardware
Drivers Manager (jockey-kde) but it still dumps me into the low
resolution mode screen after restart. However I can now manually select
the restricted driver, and set the correct resolution and widescreen
mode for the monitor (Dell 22" LCD widescreen) which was not available
before. But it still gets rejected and dumps me back to the low
resolution screen. Only the nv driver works.

However I have managed to get the NVIDIA driver working on a live CD
(although I had to edit the xorg.conf by hand), so I know the system
works, its my upgrade that has broken something. Is there anything I can
check, any permissions on root folders that are critical for the video
system. Can I delete and get the system to restore any file or folders
to re-initialize the video driver sub system? any ideas?
