Of interest from your log file is:

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"

The vesa driver then gets loaded which is why you are only seeing low
resolution. I triaged a bug report a little while ago from someone who
had the same problem as you (bug 244798), and their problem was resolved
by purging and then reinstalling the following packages in Synaptic:

linux-restricted-modules-common, linux-restricted-modules-generic and
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic

However, I don't want you to do that straight away, in-case you lose
some important information which might help solve this problem (if yours
is the same problem, as I suspect it probably is).

First of all, boot with your normal configuration (when you get the low
resolution), and then do the following in a terminal:

lsmod | grep nvidia

This will tell you if the NVIDIA module is loaded. On my machine, I see
this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia               8858052  68 
i2c_core               28544  3 eeprom,nvidia,i2c_nforce2

If it isn't loaded, then try loading it by doing the following:

sudo modprobe nvidia

If it fails, then please post the error message.

If you can't load the NVIDIA module, then please can you do the
following (placing all of the results in to a text file and attaching it
to this bug report):

md5sum /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-19-generic/*/*
md5sum /lib/modules/2.6.25-19-generic/volatile/*
md5sum /sbin/lrm-*

Now try to purge and then re-install the packages listed above, to see
if your problem goes away:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-restricted-modules-common linux-
restricted-modules-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic

sudo apt-get install linux-generic nvidia-glx-new

Replace nvidia-glx-new with nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy, depending
on which driver you use. You will now need to reboot, and, hopefully
your NVIDIA driver loads correctly this time!
