After removing gdm my resolution is stuck at 640x480 (Solved(kinda))
This is very annoying. How can gdm change the resolution permanently for X. I have a nvidia 5200fx and everything worked fine until I started playing around with gdm. Now my resolution is stuck at 640x480 and nvidia doesn\t recognize my screen anymore.
I have uninstalled gdm and gnome. Uninstalled X, reinstalled nvidia. Reconfigured xorg.conf. Deleted my nvidia-settings-rc. Nothing seems to help.
grrr!
Edit: This has nothing to do with the nvidia drivers btw or my xorg.conf. Is it possible that some dot file somewhere on my system is causing this?

This sh*t doesn't make any sense at all. I'm seriously contemplating cleaning out root and installing it again with the arch cd..

So how did you try to set your resolution? xrandr, nvidia-settings? I had success using the nvidia-settings tool when I had problems with my refresh rate, but you've probably already tried that..

Yep, tried nvidia-settings, which worked perfectly fine before installing gdm. Nvidia-settings do not recognize my monitor's EDID anymore and somehow gdm indirectly caused this. Rebooting, pacman -Rsnc xorg nvidia-utils, deleting every gdm trace I could find - doesn't change a thing. Is there anything that can override a xorg.conf? Haven't tried xrandr, because I have never needed to use this before.
Really weird situation.
Btw, monitor works perfectly fine in Windows.

Ok. Solved the issue. It was ofcourse something to do with xorg.conf. I ran a hwd -xa, which produced a xorg.conf which worked, after a nvidia-xconfig. I really can't figure out what gdm did, perhaps it deleted some parts of the monitor section of xorg.conf.
