Can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere like
http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?
There's a handy package called "pastebinit" which can help:-
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Also see if you have the relavent nvidia packages installed:-
dpkg -l nvidia* | pastebinit
Then let us have the links so we can see the output please.
