you could also try
Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
some of this i remember from 7.1. As i remember i had to edit my xorg.conf file. Wonder if anyone can help me edit my xorg.conf file:
# 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

I do have multiverse & universe checked in the package mgr. Also when i go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers i have the nvidia graphics acelerator shown. Anything else i have missed? TIA
Have a look at this thread:

Which tells you to open up a terminal, and enter this in:
That will bring up a nice GUI where you can configure your video resolution settings.Code:gksu displayconfig-gtk
Once finished, just log out, then log back in again.
Work smart, not hard.

If gksudo displayconfig-gtk doesn't produce enough result, try nvidia-settings:
