    Cant get desired resolution| Nvidia 8800

    currently the nvidia server settings tool doesn't show anything higher then 1360x786, and neither does the perf->screen resolution.

    Heres my current xorg, i already tried to follow other steps and none seem to work. Whats wrong with my config
    (yes i added in those other resolutions, but it did nothing )

    EDIT: 8.10


    Code:
    # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
    #
    # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
    # values from the debconf database.
    #
    # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
    # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
    #
    # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
    # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
    # package.
    #
    # Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
    # in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
    # here are ignored.
    #
    # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
    # again, run the following command:
    #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

    Try leaving only the resolution you want in your xorg.conf.

    Code:
    SubSection "Display"
    		Modes	   "640x480"   "800x600"   "1024x768"   "1650x1080" 		
    	EndSubSection
    Get the HorizSync VertRefresh for your monitor.

    And adding to the Monitor Section:

    For example

    Code:
    HorizSync       30-81
          VertRefresh     60
    The resolution you select might not show in the perf->screen resolution. But doesn't matter, if xorg.conf uses your resolution of choice.
