I have tried using the nvidia X server settings gui which shows the 1360x768 that I want, but it looks wrong and it will not keep the settings on the next boot

Any one help please

Thanks

Hi
OK - No Replies - No Problem

In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a crude solution based heavily on this site

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Modeline_Database#Panasonic

I have highlighted in red the changes from my last xorg

My xorg.conf now looks like this :

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Module"

I now have 1360x768 - I wont mark this as solved, as it still needs more work - but I am pleased anyway

Hope it helps someone
