Have you tried using the NVidia X server settings program to set this
up properly?  It should be on both your preferences and administration
menus (and you might need to edit the admin menu to run it with gksu
instead of just by itself so that setting changes will stick).

Otherwise you might be stuck with the nouveau driver, which does not
handle nvidia cards well at all.
