Using the vesa driver worked - I am able to get 1024x768, though the fonts are a little weird. I tried to use the modeline from the vesa driver with nv, but it didn't work. If the nv driver is part of the problem, I will try the native nVidia driver and see how that works. I've been shutting down and restarting X everytime I try something. I made a xorg.conf with the vesa selected by running xorgconfig. Ill try the native driver and see what happens. thanks for all the help so far!
