Still does not work. The boot screen, anaconda screens and boot progress screens and the login screen are all 1680x1050. But when I log in, I get the message "analog (d-sub)" fom the monitor, and the gdm screen is 1280x1024, no matter what else I do. My xorg.conf now only has the one mode in it (1680x1050), but that doesn't work, and system-config-display will change it to 1680x1050, but it doesn't stick. I used to be able to fool s-c-d into using a generic CRT, but that doesn't work any more - ithe LCD 1680x1050 seems to stick, just not GNOME's ability to use it. There has to be some little thing I'm missing here - is there any old setting file I need to remove or anything like that? I uninstalled the nfidia driver from dkms and removed all related files that I could find. Yoik. mhr
