Have you tried running nvidia-xconfig with the  185.18.36-0ubuntu9 
driver and it's
source file installed.  Be sure to look at the supported cards listed in 
the driver(aptitude show nvidia-glx-185)
At one time I had to reinstall the 2.6.31-15-generic kernel, 
nvidia-glx-185 driver and its source file and then run
nvidia-xconfig before I could start up without the low graphics mode 
message.  The standard generic xorg.config
file did not work but the one generated with nvidia-xconfig generated a 
classic style xorg.conf file which worked
fine.  The new xorg.conf and nvidia proprietary drivers sometimes suck 
using Karmic.  Hope this solves your
problem.
