OK, I did the deal and I am in the process of upgrading/migrating from CentOS 5.8 x86_64 to CentOS 6.2 x86_64. But, I'm stuck with a gnome GUI that only sees 1024x768. Under CentOS 5.8 it saw 1920x1080 (without much work from me). The command I was used to , system-config-display, is gone and I've read that xrandr is the replacement. I can't find a usage document on this command. The basic description of the hardware involved is: nVidia GT 7300 video card Viewsonic 24" monitor I don't have the exact specs for this hardware, but I can post it later if needed.
I've run the following command: xrandr -q And sometimes it returns a list of modes that range from 5 entries to 15 entries.
Any help will be appreciated!
TIA, Gene Poole + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

I use same displays on a workstation and just installed
kmod-nvidia-285.05.09-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64,
then used the Nvidia GUI at System>Administration>NVIDIA X Server Settings.
CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

Oh, right. Bet he's been stuck with the nouveau <gag!> driver. You really want to replace that, unless you've got a smaller monitor, and/or only use one monitor. The NVidia control panel is much better.

You will want to add ELRepo to your machine and install the these two packages from there:
yum install kmod-nvidia nvidia-x11-drv
Once you do that, you will have the nvidia control panel in "System => Administration" in the Gnome Menu
