Try the following. Maybe it helps.

1: Copy the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
2: Open a Terminal and enter sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3: Change the Screen section (the three lines of the subsection are important).

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                   Modes "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

4: Save the file
5: Restart the system

Hope it helps.
Peter
