It looks like you've got the newer version of the nvidia drivers

I'm not sure if kubuntu includes packages for those older nvidia drivers
(which you should use if they do) but if they don't, downloading and
installing the appropriate package should provide you with the correct
driver version for your card.
Solution - easier?? than expected.
I booted from a kubuntu 13.10 disc and noted that it gave me the nice
1680x1050 resolution that I wanted, so I re-installed kubuntu.
Job Done.
