Same problem for me.
I have installed 10.04 32 bit version on a Sony Vaio F based on Intel i5 Core and nvidia GT 330M graphic.
Using the driver provided is very difficult to set the correct resolution, the laptop has a native res of 1920x1080 pixels but in any combination the graphic screen appear bigger than lcd screen...
Using purposed restricted driver system can't start regularly xorg.
I've tried also to install latest driver downloaded from nvidia site (version 195.36.24) with no luck...
I hope to find a way to get right resolution with provided driver (performance is not so important) perhaps trying editing xorg.conf

My laptop is the same type with the same problem: the resolution you see is the resolution of the external monitor about 2000 x 1500. My hope now is that the latest driver (195.36.24 end of April 2010) will be made available in the 10.4 environment

The strange thing is that looking at the list of supported products for the latest 32 bit driver for Linux (195.36.24) NVIDIA GT 330M does not appear...

Here is the link (you have to click on "SUPPORTED PRODUCTS"):

The 330M does appear however in the 64 bit driver list!

i have to same problem too. no matter which resolution i set it to, it displays bigger than the screen. i have the Sony Vaio F series with Intel i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and and when i install the driver for the video card, it just messes up the whole display. After the restart, the resolution is stuck on 800x600. its usable but i want to make use of my native resolution which is 1920x108o.
