There is still an issue in getting full resolution with nvidia-glx in Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron":
I found the following minimum entries (highlighted as most indented) need to be added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as attached to be able to use 1920*1200 (WUXGA):
The DPMS entry does not seem to be present by default, preventing the monitor from ever going into power-saving mode, hence I also list it among the required additions, while not knowing exactly where to report its absence as a separate issue.
