I had a similar problem. After I installed the nvidia-kmod module the best resolution I could get is 1280x1024 yet my laptop supports up to 1440x1050. I ended up removing the package and going back to the default install. I have never been able to get the nvidia-kmod package to provide the max resolution of the card<br>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Hi All;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">I've recently installed the nvidia-kmod package and I do get all the nifty glx screensavers and the KDE 4 desktop effects</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">However the max screen resolution I get is about 1680x1050 even though the nvidia-settings reports 1920x1200</p>
