    He's got an nvidia card. He *has* to have an xorg.conf.

    Nvidia cards are very good at reading DDCC and EDID from monitors ..... when the right cables are present. Xrandr can't do anything that the nvidia driver won't also do.

    For some reason I still only get 60 hz as an option after changing my file. I would let it go, but my monitor flickers unless its at 75.

    I would recommend installing nvidia X server settings. That way you can customize Graphic options with GUI.

    Similar to NVIDIA Control Panel in Windows

    OK...

    Same routine:

    Code:
    #Custom Xorg
    # Tweaked (yet again) by Giblet5 - if it works, name second-born "Rackne Cobblepot"
    
    Section "Module"
    	Load	"glx"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier      "Default Monitor"
            HorizSync       70.64 - 70.64
            VertRefresh     74.98 - 74.98
    EndSection
    
    Section "Device"
    	Identifier	"Default Device"
    	Driver	"nvidia"
    	Option	"NoLogo"	"True"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"
    	Identifier	"Default Screen"
            Device          "Default Device"
            Monitor         "Default Monitor"
    	DefaultDepth	24
    EndSection

    (It would be far better if you got the real frequency ranges from your monitor's vendor and used those, but this should work)

    Which packet would that be, please?

    I tried:
    apt-cache search nvidia | grep server

    and I have many answers:

    The result of the "make" command:
    - Sitting bored in front of a computer
    - Watching abstruse output scrolling upwards too fast to be read
    - And waiting for something to go wrong

    The default Ubuntu nvidia driver in the repo doesn't create a xorg.conf file for some reason, however just do a gksudo nvidia-xconfig in terminal and that should make a file for you, then do a gksudo nvidia-xconfig, set your resolution there and save it to x, you can also set your refresh rates there.
