I have a 6600GE or something like that (low-ish end fanless card) and I can't get the nv driver to go above 1280x1024, even though my LCD screen's native resolution is 1600x1200. It says something (in the logs) about being prevented by bios, which seems odd. Did you have to put anything fancy in your xorg.conf file to enable the higher resolution? Cheers, -- Andrew
