acceleration restricts native aspect ratio and resolution from working

[trossthree]

Greetings

I have a Nvidia 5600 ultra video card and a Westinghouse Wide screen LCD monitor. My native resolution is 1440x900 and it works fine except when I enable the 3d acceleration. When I enable the 3d acceleration I lose my native aspect ratio which is wide screen and my resolution will not set any higher than 640x480.

Hi and have you installed nvidia settings via synaptic manager. Then use the alt, F2 keys and enter the command
gksu nvidia-settings then adjust your resolution there.

in Compizconfig settings manager, make sure in General Options, Display Options that "Detect Outputs" is either checked, or the proper resolution is in the bottom area.
