I have an NVidia Geforce 6800ultra and a Dell 2005FPW monitor (1600x1050).

Right now, I'm getting some horrible resolution that's totally off. When I go into the proprietary drivers menu, the Nvidia driver is enabled and status is "in use."

Here's my mess of an xorg.conf, I have a feeling that the problem is in here.

Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder3)  Thu Feb 14 18:20:37 PST 2008

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
