Re: How to get Nvidia geforce 420M working?
Well, its the old thing... as soon as you ask for help somehow it works by itself? go figure?
Anyway, I managed to fix the problem minutes after I wrote the above post... for anyone else who's struggling... I'm not sure what change, but the process i followed was this:

Download the latest version of the nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

go to terminal 1 [ctrl]-[alt]-1
log in
then

sudo service gdm stop
run the downloaded driver via
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run (256.53 was the version of the driver i'm using)

the installer complained on my machine that the distribution provided script failed, did i want to continue, yes.

it asked if i wanted to 32bit compatible opengl installed, yes
then to autoconfig x - yes
it then exits out
type
"sudo service gdm start"
and voila! the NVIDIA X Server config tool worked and i could get my max resolution!

strangely i'd done this once before and it didn't work... but it did this time....

Thanks for the help I know I would've got on this form... it's saved my life many times!!!
