    You might wanna install nvidia-settings and use that to configure it.

    Try saving to X configuration file and restart. Back up /etc/X11/xorg.conf before you do.

    I'm assuming you're running compiz. What happens when you use metacity instead of compiz?
    Code:
    metacity --replace

    Okay. This might fix your problem:
    Backup your xorg.conf first though.
    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
    Open xorg.conf for editting.
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Add the following line into the Section "Screen" part.
    Code:
    Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
    Restart X.
    Code:
    Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
    Hope that fixes it.

    Edit: In case you can't start X anymore or the resolution becomes very low, go to the commandline (Ctrl+Alt+1) and login. Then type:
    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    to restore the "working" config file.
