Help widescreen lcd with nvida 7300gt

[spiderjerusalem]

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section, I wasn't sure if it should be in the hardware or software section. I have a Gateway FPD1975W monitor with a native resolution of 1440x900, I cant get the resolution to change to that in KDE or Gnome, I am using the Nvida drivers from livna and Fedora core 6 64bit. No matter what i set the resolution to it defaults back to 1024x768 when i reboot. I am connected using DVI.

my xorg.config

I have tried removing all of the other modes in this file too and they just show back up when i reboot.

Modes "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "800x600" "640x480" "640x480"
Try ..
Modes "1440x900" "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "800x600" "640x480" "640x480"

That worked for me, it would seem that in the mode area, the first one is the name, and the second one is the resolution.

It was not using the nvida drivers........

I just switched the driver over and its working... now i just need to get opengl working right.
