The new kernal is giving me a low graphics mode error, and scrunched video, I think I need some xorg re-building, and am not sure how to do that.

OK I logged in and frankly both 2.6.32-28 (the new kernal) and 2.6.32-27 is hosed. The graphics are lowres and not totally on screen- unworkable. I am sure this is an xorg issue, I tried to run nvidia-xconfig in recovery mode and that didn't work. I did manage to install the uninstalled updates, but it still looks like garbage.
