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
