It could be that the update changed the configuration, if so this is a bug.
You can check by looking at the time stamps for the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and see if it is the same time as you update.

In a terminal window, type the following command:
ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf*

To fix this you could try running the following command:
sudo nvidia-xconfig
