I'll try to post as much information as here as possible. I had a lengthy discussion with a helpful fellow in the IRC channel, but we were unable to resolve my issue.
As of right now, I can't get a resolution higher than 640x480 (the monitor's max is 1920 x 1440 @ 60Hz). Also, the Monitor is a Sony Trinitron G420 -- the specs are posted online in PDF form.
I currently have a GeForce 7300GT, and the Xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/377424
I've tried using xrandr and adding the resolutions, the most recent error being one with the screen. The current driver installed is nvidia-1733x. If anyone had any ideas of what's up, please help! I'll try to post more information when being asked. As of now, having gone through the Xorg and NVIDIA wiki I am at a loss.

your card is listed as supported for the newest nvidia driver on their site so I would start by switching to that (pacman -S nvidia)

I had that installed previously and someone recommended I install the older one, but I've re-installed the most current the problem persists.

does the moniter work with other OS..Live cd etc? your xorg conf is nearly identical (xcept sync rates and Moniter name) to mine. I've got a Geforce 7400.
Looks like you TRIED to use nvidia-settings that SHOULD be all you need..xranr won't do anything more nvidia-settings --- I believe.
PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.

Yep, I used to use this with oter APT-based distros just fine. I'm just really eager to try Arch because I love the concepts going into it, and pacman, but this is my 'test rig' that recently got rebuilt, so if all goes well and I get it figured-out several other of my machines are going to Arch. If not, Arch may be relegated to a server distro for me, but I am really loving it despite my problems, this one happens to be critical.

have you tried specifying a resolution in xorg,conf? also it's possible nvidia-settings got corrupted so you might want to completely remove any config files it has and start over
EDIT: one more thing, live cds are probably using the vesa driver, so I guess you could try that just to see if the card works at all in arch (obviously you'll still want to get this working though)

There is some problems with edid over vga. Try providing your own edid file, or write yourself a modeline.
Edit: lots of info about this problem online, specially on the nvnews forum.

Muaha, after adding a resolution line to Xorg the resolutions are magically working.
