To fix this if you have that problem :
- install nvidia proprietary drivers;
- enable them by running
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

- edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc (or create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add the line :
options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=0 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=0

- edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add this line in the section "Device" (which should have "nvidia" already set in Driver instead of "nv")
 Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"

While you're at it you can add :
 Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
 Option "Dpi" "135 x 135"

In the same place. However, if you're using Gnome, you'll have to specify that again in System>Preferences>Font>Details.
