I'm getting this as well on my Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with an Nvidia Quadro FX 880M, and it's very random. Doesn't seem to matter if it's a cold boot. The odds seem to be about 50/50 of booting up normally, or booting up to the X dialog in low-graphics mode. When I choose restart X in the X dialog, I get the gnome login screen at low-res. From there I reboot and hope for the best. My Xorg.conf is a generic one generated by the nvidia config applet (which reports nvidia driver version 195.36.24). I think this started happening to me in late June, so probably due to some update around then. I'm up to date on all packages.
