Rechecked this (multiple times)

Using the GUI at Software & Updates>Additional Drivers appears to now not remove conf files and hence user is left with 640x480px (assume because of the blacklist file left in /etc/modprobe.d)

If one installs via apt and then purges - the nvidia conf file is removed and a normal at reboot results.

The same behaviour is seen if installed via Software & Updates and then removed with apt purge.

Pretty positive this was not previously the case when using the GUI to install nvidia driver.

Only have 1 card to test against - so possibly only affects nvidia-340.

Notes from testing and some pastebin of terminal logs attached.
