Probably a dumb question, but have you tried System -> Administration
-> Screens and Graphics which is new in 7.10?
Also, if you installed the restricted nvidia driver, you might try
using nvidia-settings from the command line (I do not recall if you
have to gksudo it).
Given what that bug report said though, I have no confidence either of
these would resolve your issue.
