I've got the same problem.
Then I tried to install drivers from nvidia.cn(I'm a Chinese user), and the resolution became too high.

I'm using BenQ monitor 17' and Nvidia Geforce 7300GT

the "nvidia settings" just do not work as before, i checked the xorg.conf to find out that there is not "Monitor" subsection too, maybe this is the problem
