I have a Wide Screen LCD monitor, and can’t get full rated resolution despite much time spend w/ X config file. It seems to only give 1400×1050 resolution instead of 1680×1200.
Also I have a periodic failure where the video card seems to loose sync and I get a scrambled image coming back from a blanked screen, requires restarting X to fix.

Had to install nvidia’s driver through Mepis X-Windows Utilities.
