By the way, that platform listed in first post is relevant no more. I had same problem with Toshiba Satellite Pro M10, (GeForce 420), and i have solved it.

The driver needs to have laptop's LCD screen as it's primary display. So i added

Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"

in device section of xorg.conf, and it works.
I don't know how it would affect workstation with CRT screen. Maybe explicitly saying "CRT" in option line could do magic, however, README file clearly states that driver always goes to CRT by default.
