After upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10 I had a problem my display was not reconized.Then tried to instal the Nvidia proprietry driver, but it failed.
After a lot of try and error ( to much to tell ), removed all nvidia* and reinstalled Nouveau.
But still having problems.
When I create an xorg.conf, there are a lot of warnings about drivers missing,As soon I delete/move away the xorg.conf, I get the 1024/768 display back, which is too small and should be 1280/1024.(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

I read a lot about xrandr and cvt, but can't get it to work.
This is the xorg.conf that I use, but breaks the GUI.
It is an edited previously automatic generated xorg.conf.# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
