So after I turned on the nvidia proprietary drivers (not immediately after but a while after) I rebooted and it couldn't find my driver, so I reinstalled it, but it only gave me a terrible screen resolution (640x480 i think). So I posted about it on here and they talked me through changing my xorg.conf file.
So now I'm in a better shape, 1024x768 works, but it's still pretty big for my taste. And the login screen still shows up as 640x480. On my Sys>Pref>Screen Resolution page it offers 1040x768, but when I select that it's huge, somewhere closer to 640x480.
My xorg file is as follows:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
