OK. You need to edit your xorg.conf file, so open Terminal (I think it's located in Applications->Utilities).
At the prompt, enter the following:
This will open the xorg.conf file with read/write privileges. Now find the following section:
And replace it with:
Save and exit, and then restart X.
At the prompt, enter the following:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will open the xorg.conf file with read/write privileges. Now find the following section:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1440x900 +0+0; 1280x768 +0+0; 800x600 +0+0; 640x480 +0+0; 1280x800 +0+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
And replace it with:
