Hi, I have a LG 20M35A-B monitor (1600x900) and GTX 660, that monitor doesnt have DVI so I'm using a VGA to DVI adapter.
With Nouveau driver I cant go more than 1024x768, with nvidia driver max. resoultion is 800x600, and with nvidia-beta 640x480. What I can do?
I already try putting 1600x900 within nvidia-settings but it looks distorted, probably because the refresh rate.
thanks!!!

Yeah, thanks, got it. Problems anyway
1600x900 font seems too... blurry? And, when I create the 10-monitor.conf system doesn't start...

Please post the full content of the troublesome .conf file.
EDIT: please also post the relevant Xorg log file.

Okay I'll put everything may seem relevant.
This is my 10-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DVI-I-1"
Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_60.00"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Monitor "DVI-I-1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1600x900_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
With this my system doesn't start. Only gave me a prompt, where I can delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf to start the system in 1024x768.
Adding res (blurry!!):
$ cvt 1600 900
# 1600x900 59.95 Hz (CVT 1.44M9) hsync: 55.99 kHz; pclk: 118.25 MHz
Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
$ xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
$ xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1 1600x900_60.00
$ xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1600x900_60.00
Thank you very muchhhhh!!

But when you use the `xrandr` commands, the resolution changes, correct?
Are you using the nouveau driver here?
If you create a 10-test.conf with just the last stanza in it:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
Does your desktop still start (at the low resolution)?

Mm... I think it says "Cant open display"

yep
I
f you create a 10-test.conf with just the last stanza in it:
Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nouveau" EndSection

Working!
Interestingly, today I went back to try my 10-monitor.conf and suddenly it worked.
But the problem of blurry persist. I don't know if it's because cvt values
cheers!!
