Hi,
I just got a new Samsung 226bw 22" wide monitor to replace my
previous one. I also have a nvidia 8600gts video card.
I can set interactively [through the nvidia-settings utility] the
1680 by 1050 resolution. I have saved the settings in the
xorg.conf, but I can't keep it after a restart of X or a reboot.
When I restart X, the login is at: 1680 by 1050, then it switches
to 1280 by 1024.
Here are the video sections from my xorg.conf
Any suggestion with what's wrong?
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8600 GTS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1680x1050 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
--
Thanks

I have the same monitor actually, here are some tips:
Add this modeline to your "Monitor" section:
modeline "1680x1050 at 60" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051
1054
1087 -hsync +vsync
Add the new resolution to your "Screen" section ("1680x1050 at
60"),
finally restart X, set the new resolution using system-config-desplay
or Resolution Applet.
Good luck!
