I had this same problem when upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 with Dell
Vostro 15000 nvidia 8600M, and it turned out to be my kernel version was
old.

After a while and a lot of hacking, i realised that the kernel I was
using was the old 10.04 one. Even though I had downloaded the latest
ones automatically, my grub for some reason wasn't displaying the new
ones (my one is now 2.6.35-27-generic). So I had to manually go into the
/etc/grub/grub.cfg file and add the entries for the other kernels. I
then installed the nvidia-current package again and then all was well.

In summary, check that your kernel is ok, and if not go and get the
right kernel, or go and get the headers for your kernel and compile the
latest driver.
