Same issue w/ Nvidia 310M on sony vaio VPCS11V9E. Xorg.log reports:

[ 18.690] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device DFP-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
[ 18.690] (WW) NVIDIA(0): from DFP-0's EDID.

I had the same issue in 10.04 and solved it with a CustomEDID line in xorg.conf. The same thing in 10.10 does not work. With it no errors are reported though. Just one warning regarding CRT-0 (vga connector in 10.04):

[ 19.169] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0

I've also tried the latest stuff from ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ppa.
