It is advised to use a descriptive topic title, that means a topic title that gives some clue about the content in the thread itself...

A generic topic title like "noob here" or "need help" does not help at all. As you may have noticed, just about everyone posting in here has some kind of a problem or issue or question ;)

And it is also adviced to use seperate threads for unrelated problems so that you can mark each one individually as solved.

Or in short terms: Help others to help you ;)

See the forums policy, especially section II.2: http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php?page=policy

Also, when you are asked to post output from (config) files or from a command, use
brackets around (each) output. That makes it also easier to read.

Go to System/Administration/ and see if you have "NVIDIA X Server Settings". If not, go to /System/Administration/ Synaptic Package Manager and look for "nvidia-settings" if it is not installed, install it and you will be able to monkey with more settings. I cannot remember whether it is installed when the drivers are installed.
