Bug Description
As I understand it having read it in so many places now. the Nvidia 8776 driver is the best a literally always picking up the screen resolution that u have configured in xorg.conf. I know it because I have tried it on so many distributions now. Ubuntu 6.10, suse 10.2, zod (fedora) etc.
My out has always been to compile the driver by downloading it from nvidia direct and run the bin file which pulls files from nvidia and compiles itself. It plain works ... as soon as you go above 8776 .. every thing works but the hi-resolutions dont work.
Would love to see if there would be a way to down grade the 7.04 driver (provided by the ubuntu development team) for now until these issues are resolved. Am sure they are nvidia issue but they seem to be ignoring the issue.
BTW I have tried compiling the 8776 driver on 7.04 first time ever it fails! so I guess for now Ihave to live with the 2048x1024 till i get my 1600x1200 back.
hope this hells
cheers

Does the nvidia-glx-legacy package have what you need?
