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.
