  • Have a look on the ubuntu forum for the nvidia settings manager - it beats having to fuck about with xorg.conf
    Very true. First make sure you've got the correct driver...

    System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

    That will let you choose a proprietary driver from Nvidia themselves. If it has problems installing the new driver try updating synaptics.

    sudo apt-get update

    Then to install the manager that "really" knows how to edit the Xorg.conf...
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

    To run...
    sudo nvidia-settings
