Here's my situation: Basically, I have an nVidia GeForce7050PV/nforce630 onboard video with a Dell P991 CRT. I'm on Linux Mint 7 (essentially Jaunty) and no matter how I go about doing it, either through xorg.conf or the nvidia-settings GUI, if I set my resolution anywhere above 1024x768, it kills my ability to properly play multimedia, audio or video. Basically, everything starts going way too fast and skipping around, eventually ending in a crash. Resolutions at or below 1024x768 are fine. I really want 1280x1024 (But I can support up to 1600x1200). Also, this happens in every desktop environment I've tried. I don't know why it would only do this at certain resolutions, but the resolution I want is fine in Windows XP and the glitch happens with any version of the nvidia drivers. Does anyone have a fix for this? I'm pretty desperate at this point.
