No widescreen with nvidia board

This is problem (not the root cause).
You need to put some info into the xorg.conf file to allow mode validation of display against a chosen mode from the internal modes..

What is the model of display ?
What resolution do you what to use ?

My screen is an 22" 22lg30r, and im looking for the 1280X720 HDTV definition. Thanks.

I would recommend the native resolution only.. let the video card do all scaling.
The LG engine is not very good..

PC-VGA cable your display only supports 60Hz modes (good for US)

native is 1680x1050
All possible modes covered by
hortz freq range 31 - 67 KHz
vertical freq range 59 - 61 Hz
GTF timing supported.
# 1680x1050 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.76MA) hsync: 65.29 kHz; pclk: 146.25 MHz
Modeline "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync

You need figure out the screen & device number [0, 1] that correspond to the wired port CRT-0.
The driver will generate an allowed list of modes from all the internal modes that can be validated against the monitor section.

That worked. Thanks.
