Strange ... I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 with an NVIDIA GeForce440Go and
an Ultra 1600x1200 display. I have had no problems with X at all, both
using X's nv driver, and NVIDIA's nvidia driver. The problem may be that
you have simply chosen the wrong resolution for your monitor. Most flat
panel displays are designed to be run at only one resolution. Most
likely, given that you have a Dell like I do, 1600x1200 or 1400x1050.

Try going to System Settings -> Display and changing the resolution to
the one your flat panel is designed to be run at.
