DoubleGrande & Peter: This thread did the trick after a couple of hours on other paths. Much appreciated. To those looking for the simple “What do I do?”:

open a command shell
type “sudo nvidia-settings”
enter password
use this application to set your video as you wish
save settings
menu->prefernces->display: set to the same settings for resolution
done (reboot)

Thanks again

For those newly bald from tearing their hair out over this issue see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1242804&page=3 for what wound up solving my problem (this site came up higher on my searches). In the end the setting in the default Gnome Display (choose not to use the nvida config tool) was the culprit in resetting the resolution down to my pre-nvidia state. As soon as I locked in 1920×1080 there, voila, presto, no need to manually set the resolution after every single restart.

Thanks so much, I’d almost given up on getting the Nvidia drivers to work. All working sweet now.

To get the correct “HorizSync & VertRefresh” rates I used the following website : http://www.bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/
