Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and Nvidia dirver (304.51) 64bit: problem 640x480
I have a problem with this configuration:
Asus K55V, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Nvidia driver 304.51.
I have remove the nouveau driver with:
apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I installed the official nvidia driver (from www.nvidia.com) but when I reboot the PC the resolution of screen is only 640x480 and the monitor is resized.
Mo solution at this problem if i change the xorg.conf.
Now i have uninstall the nvidia driver and reinstall with
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
When I reboot the screen resolution and size is OK, but if I start nvidia-setting I received the message:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
and with command:
sudo lshw -c display | grep driver
I received
configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
This sound like the system is using the Intel card. When I launch command lspci | grep the output is:
VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1058 (rev ff)
And there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have read a lot of guides on internet but without success.. How i can use nvidia card with the driver that i have installed?

I'm working on the same problem with my Asus A55V, which is just got a few days ago and I'm getting it all set up with Ubuntu 12.10. If you look in windows, you will find that the nvidia card is not the primary card that actually connects to the LCD. In windows, programs that are made to use graphics acceleration will use the nvidia GPU and memory if configured correctly. This method of working is a hybrid situation (see http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html ) I think the idea is to save power on the laptop by only using the GPU when necessary.
I've found this project which aims to provide the ability to use 3D acceleration in linux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee It has all the instructions on there to set it up in Ubuntu.
Hopefully that will solve your problem.
