2. Work around the issue by hard coding your monitor's capabilities into xorg.conf
Before trying 2 make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf in case this goes horribly wrong. To attempt 2. try using
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and select nvidia as the driver to use. Most things can be left at their defaults but try and attempt monitor autodetection and ensure the video modes you want to do are selected and that the horizontal/vertical sync are also set. Please post your results back here.
