Same thing happening here. I've seen it suggested to use nvidia- settings...well, at 640x480, all that happens when you click on the nvidia-settings dialog box is that it jumps around on the screen. You can use the tab key to access its options, however correcting the settings has no effect. On top of it all, as you probably have found out, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now skips the entire video configuration part and jumps right to keyboard configuration. This is pretty much a show-stopper, if you ask me, being as it is that correctly detecting one's display-related hardware is accomplished easily by modern operating systems. The only way I got it all working was to wipe out hardy, install gutsy, configure all the display stuff, and then copy the xorg.conf off to a safe location. Then I installed hardy again, installed the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers, and copy the saved xorg.conf from gutsy over the one in hardy. This is a repugnant solution to have to use.
