I had the same problem. Launch Synaptic and then in quick search type "nvidia" in. You should see few results I don't remember the name of. Any way install the two packages with this pattern "xxx-core" and "xxx-qt". It works also for ATI. So if you have too many results with nvidia search try with ati. Packages are the same and support both.

Sorry, it worked for me !
You can try to use xrandr or xvidtune. But this gets a bit complex and you'll have to follow tutorials on Ubuntu forums. Google is your friend for that

try : apt-get remove --purge nvidia-driver
then : dpkg --configure -a
then : apt-get install nvidia-driver while not logged into x

had similar problems if this works after install
do : apt-get install nvidia-driver while not logged into x again to make sure
it should say nividia-driver already newest version
if not you make need to do: dpkg --configure -a

your fix simple 1.download the nvidia-dev-driver from nvidia's website 2.reboot computer and install the dev-driver before you start your xserver.
