Hi,

First systems specs

ASUS M3A78-VM MB
Phenom X4
4GB ram
3 SATA drives
NVIDIA GTS250 Eco edition
Ubuntu 10.04 x86

I have an LG W2241T connected to the DVI port
an Insignia 42" HDTV connected with VGA.

I am trying to get my xorg to display right but am having major issues with it.

1. I can't get the NVIDIA control panel to give me any higher resolution than 1280x720. I know it works fine, because when I boot into windows 7 it easily allows me to switch the TV into 1920x1080.

I know I have to do something to edit the xorg.conf, but have no idea how to do so. No idea which lines to add and where.

Thanks
Chris
