Marco: Why did you install nvidia-173 instead of nvidia-current? Do you
have /usr on a seperate partiton? It looks like nouveau isn't getting
blacklisted, and if thats the case
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers/+bug/538071 is your bug.

Federico: That is the intended behavior, you have an xorg.conf
speciftying nvidia to be used which is not available for the kernel you
are on so it falls back to failsafe. Did you not enable nvidia-current
in the restricted drivers manager after you were in failsafe? It should
*not* automatically load the proprietary drivers from nvidia.com that
you installed in that scenario, those require a manual update every time
you update your kernel. I will bring this up with the people making that
wiki.
