Setting display resolution

[xray]

I had the same problem with an Acer Travelmate 4000 (

try this:

edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in the "screen" section are 2 entries. I suppose you use 24 bit, so you 
move to the subsection with the depth "24" and add  in the modes line 
before the first entry "1920x1200". After that you have to restart the 
xserver ( --> init 3 --> init 5 )

It helped me with an 1280x800 resolution


Best regards

When it asks me about screen resolution I can only select 1920x1440 or 1600x1200, why not 1920x1200. I haven't tried downloading the drivers from Nvidia yet. Does this make any sense to anyone?
