Laptop Display Resolution

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

     Dear friends,

  Thanks for the help. After installing nvidia-graphics and running
nvidia-xconf, I automatically got my 1680x1050 resolution back.

  How I was able to get that resolution before that remains a mystery.

     Take care
     Oliver
