Hey I think I'm experiencing the same sort of problems here, I installed some 
updates (from today), and after I rebooted it started with low-res mode, I 
installed some driversusing envyNG and now I dont get the message when I boot 
(it used to give me a message telling me to select my monitor and video card) 
but I still have the problem. Only 640*480 and below to select.
I solved this problem before by reinstalling an old driver I had, the one that 
was "like default" when I installed ubuntu.
I have a Nimitz monitor that supports up to 1200*1024, and a nvidia 6100 nforce 
430.
This is my xorg.conf
I guess it does not detect my monitor at all.
# 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

Oh, and when I open the NVIDIA X server settings it shows up everything
just fine, but detects a CRT monitor, it says: "@@@ 1780 (CRT-0 on
GPU-0).

Any ideas?
