(Nvidia driver is installed)

Add a line like the bold one is the first step that I will try.

There might be be other changes that you have to make, but start with the above one.

A quick Google has turned this up:

"Since you have already set your resolution try running "xvidtune" from a terminal inside X. It will allow you to tweak your horizontal and vertical frequencies interactively. "

Hope this helps.
