Did you manually set it in your xorg.conf? Like so:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection
If you don't it defaults to whatever other driver you have that works with
the hardware (nv or VESA). I noticed that it does that after I tried to remove
my xorg.conf (it works just fine, I only have to leave the above in it for X to
work).

Man, I'm sorry you keep having these upgrade problems. I can imagine the
frustration this would cause.
