1360x768 option is gone.

Hi,
i'm a newbie. So please come easy:)
I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 yesterday because i knew that it comes with compiz fusion. After installation progress Ubuntu showed 1360x768 on my Toshiba Regza LCD TV automatically, but compiz fusion advanced effects was not enabled. To enable these effects i was told to install the restricted NVIDA drivers, so i did it. After installing these drivers and restarting the machine ubuntu turned to 1024x768 and 1360x768 screen resolution option is gone now. The effects are working without any problem. Do you know any idea how to get this 1360x768 resolution back without losing the cf effects. I've tried to edit xorg.config file but i dont know how to do it (in other linux forums i haven't seen anybody who solved this problem by editing this xorg.config file)

Graphic Card: Nvida 8600GT
Distribution : Ubuntu 7.10 beta
Monitor : Toshiba regza 32C3000P (1366x768 @60hz natural res)
Connection : Via standart vga cable

thanks for your answers.

Hi there, I had simmilar problems. The nvidia-auto-select option in xorg.conf gave 1024x768 on my 32" LCD-TV, so I'll paste the part of my xorg.conf that setts it to the right resolution:


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Videocard1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
#Option "metamodes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" ##nvidia-auto-select gives wrong resolution
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1360x768 +0+0"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "metamodes" "CRT: 1360x768 +0+0"
#Modes "nvidia-auto-select" ##nvidia-auto-select gives wrong resolution
EndSubSection
EndSection

Here the Option "metamodes" "CRT:1360x768 +0+0" makes things right :) hope it helps!
