Sorry, but i have to unload first: I hate Jaunty! I was happy and nice with my hardy installation when I unfortunately decided to move to jaunty cause hardy started to feel a little outdated...
So I made a clean install of jaunty, just to avoid downloading all the intrepid packages from a network upgrade. Since my connection is not so fast, this seemed a good option.
But the problem is that after installation I could only have 800x600 screen resolution. Well, I thought, let's install the proprietary drivers and this will be gone...
How surprised I was when after the installation I could only have 640x480... Running nvidia-settings as root doesn't help either. The top resolution shown is 640x480.
So I try to run nvidia-xconfig as root. The output is below:
$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
WARNING: No Layout specified, constructing implicit layout section using screen "Default

And the resulting xorg.conf is here. Before that, the xorg.conf was almost blank. Here is my xorg.conf:

I would like anyone that can help me this problem because I am hopeless. Just to know, my video card is a nvidia Geforce FX 5200.
thanks
