Thanks. Things have moved on a bit but I now have two extremes:
1) With no xorg.conf I can get it to run in 800x600 without using the nvdia
driver. This is just about usable but hardly ideal.
2) To attempt to get it to use the nvidia driver I need to do:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

but doing so and rebooting leaves my monitor in standby - I don't even get
to the login screen after the initial BIOS messages.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Rob
