Other logs of interest:
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log (apr 14)
/var/log/jockey.log
A reset: No improvement and the nvidia driver is reported
by unity settings as in use. I removed it via the settings menu. A reset
and now resolution looks normal but /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the same nvidia
complaints as above. Why is it even being looked for now? It seems that video drivers
are not well managed in ubuntu. :(
me@me:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
That's new. Before I removed the driver, there was a different complaint. I checked the linux headers, they seem fine.
Restart again now the new xorg.conf has been written.
Oh good. Back to low resolution. :( Checking the xorg log file, there is still no nvidia driver. OK. Re-enable via system settings gui.
=============================== Four hours later ===========================
Attempts to install Ubuntu 13 have failed. The USB installer is fine. On reboot, system locks during release of initfs. I tried different drive ports
and many different bios settings. Going back to 12.
:(
What a waste of a day.

or something. 12 installed and refused to boot. Install from CD only!
