I tried many times, reading every solved problem similar to mine and I cant make it work.
Everytime I restart the system, my res goes back to 800x600@72, and I want to keep my 1400x900 also I cant set the refresh rate to 75 always is set as auto and if I try to select only shows 60Hz. I edited the file as root, with gedit, nvidia-settings, even before ubuntu starts using the console all as root... but still not working.
I have a video card Nvidia 6600GT and a LG W1934S LCD Monitor the max res is 1400x900@75 http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/w1934s.jhtml
this is my Xorg.conf file
