Thanks, Mark, but the mode line was there. Apparently there are two problems (I finally got a clue in the xorg log file): 1. The R913J (not R943J) digital mode seems not to be compatible with the Nvidia drivers for some reason. 2. I was using startx to test as I was used to doing in the old days. The log file mentioned lost contact with gdm so I entered "gdm" instead of "startx" and got the desired resolution! Now I have another problem: somehow in my putzing around the monitor has taken on a blue hue both in the startup vga mode and the full-up Nvidia X mode. Any ideas about that? I haven't done a hard reboot yet and hope that clears it up--but I'm putting that off until tomorrow morning. Regards, -Tom
