I also downgraded - I downloaded the amd64 binaries from the above
link and then ran:
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-*.deb
Things look OK after rebooting. I have a Sony Vaio VPCF123FX.

I downgraded like the reporter and things appear to be working now.
Earlier, off a fresh install and prior to installing any nvidia drivers,
my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop was running off the right and bottom of my Sony
Vaio F Series' 1920x1080 screen, regardless of resolution setting. It
seemed like the monitor wasn't being registered correctly, but there was
no explicit bug generated. Should I file that separately or is that
understood to be part of this issue? I was getting notified to install
nvidia drivers, and it seems that would fix the issue if not for the bug
we are currently discussing.
