I still have some wierd flickering and when I log out or reboot the resolution reverts back to 1024x768.
Any idea how to stop that?

Installing newer drivers to try to fix resolution problems might seem to be a good idea, but in this case its not really.
Its only a good idea when you have _very_ new hardware, or you _know_ that there is an isue with EDID and whatever driver version you are currently using. With hardwae as old as the G210, over 2 years old now, any initial driver release problems are totally fixed.
It rather use one of the PPA, like xorg-edgers, with a *buntu over doing a manual install of the nVidia drivers.
As for how to get 1920x1080, without flickering and no reverting back to 1024x768.....post your xorg.conf file. Please post it in 'code' tags, it keeps the forum neater (when you hit 'advanced post', the # symbol above the posting area makes 'code' tags).
