Same problem here, only I had nvidia-glx-legacy installed (NVIDIA NV25, Geforce4 TI4200) and it stopped working. the X.log file said something about "no working modes", it failed to detect my two 19" screens' DDC settings (ie. refresh rates etc), and so refused to go up in 1280x1024, only offered 800x600, which wasn't a mode I configured.

I installed nvidia-glx instead, which worked right out of the box with the old config.

IMHO this is quite a critical problem, although maybe not easy to solve, since losing the GUI and installing stuff by command line isn't for the faint of heart. Maybe one could do something like https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linuxconsoletools/+spec/console-menu.
