** Description changed:

  I have been using 10.10 beta on my new Sony Vaio VPCF136FM configured as
  follows:
  
  Processor: i7-740QM / 1.73 GHz
  Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU
  Display: 16.4" / 1600 x 900
  Memory: 6 GB
  
  Ubuntu can't sense my display to set up native x-server properly - it defaults to 800x600.
  I installed the NVIDIA driver when I originally installed 10.10 beta. Worked perfectly.
  Yesterday's (10/04/10) NVIDIA driver update broke my system - won't boot into desktop - locks up the system. I had to reboot into safe mode and remove the new NVIDIA driver. I am now only able to run in safe mode 800x600 because Ubuntu can't detect my display.
  
  More info:
  
  I tried reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. Rebooted to a failsafe root terminal.
  Ran: nvidia-xconfig and received the following message:
  
  Using X configuration file:
      "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
  
  VALIDATION ERROR:
      Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
      Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen".
  
  Backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
  
  New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
  
  I try to reboot and I get a blank screen with a color background. I
  can't Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, I can't Ctrl-Alt F# to a virtual terminal.
  I have to do a cold restart (i.e. hold the power button down to shutdown
  and then reboot into failsafe graphics mode so I can remove the NVIDIA
  driver to regain control of my system again).
