Nvidia: wrong resolution

Hello everyone!
I remember having the same problem in ubuntu, the fonts would look all smudgy and and the resolution would just default to 1368x768 even though in the xorg configuration It had the right resolution (1366x768). I fixed the problem thanks to this article http://www.gacosta.net/Linux-Apache-MyS … ution.html. However, that solution does not apply to archlinux. Adding that line to the xorg config does nothing. Any Ideas?
This is  my xorg after running nvidia-xsettings.

Re: Nvidia: wrong resolution

Try running nvidia-xconfig as root before starting X. If the resolution is still wrong, try running nvidia-settings, go to the X Server Display Configuration tab and see if your native resolution is in the drop down list. If not, click advanced and enter the resolution yourself in the Panning field.

Also add Option "NoLogo" "true" in your xorg.conf under Section "Device"; removes Nvidia's startup logo.


I never know what to make my signature...

After running nvidia-settings the closest resolution to mine(1366x768) is a 1368x768 and after changing it in the panning field it goes back to 1368x768 resolution again. I remember atleast in ubuntu I would get another 1360x768 resolution.
