I have a new Dell L401X with GeForce GT 420M with the same issue.

After Installing the NVidia-propietary drivers using the nvidia-installer (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run) the only way to having a nonblank screen is by using an external monitor through the HDMI port.
I have tried and wasted several days with this problem. It seems as if xorg.conf is never well configured by nvidia-xconfig, so whn trying to run nvidia-settings (as root) it never detects the two monitor, just the external.
