not a big deal.

from the black screen when you boot up, press CTRL+ALT+F2 to get a console, log in.

next, please:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
sudo nvidia-xconfig
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in xorg.conf please locate the section "Screen" and add an option line like so:
     Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"

you may also want to use this opportunity to change the default color depth from 16 to 24

i've attached my xorg.conf

the laptop this xorg.conf runs on is a Dell Latitude C840 w/ GeForce GO MX440 64MB w/ 1400x1050px LCD
