You don't even need to do that.  Get the drivers through Synaptic by 
just Enabling the Nvidia restricted driver in the Hardware Drivers 
applet on the System~>Administration menu.  After that open a terminal 
window and use:

sudo displayconfig-gtk

A new window will appear.  You still won't be able to change your 
resolution until you select what kind of monitor you have.  Select your 
monitor or a generic monitor settings from the menu on this applet and 
then you can select a higher resolution.

There is a flaw in the Screen Resolution applet on the Administration 
menu which doesn't give you the option of selecting your monitor type.
