xorg configuration with nvidia 6800gs agp and flatron l222wt

my computer is set to run with a l222wt lcd monitor with a 1680x1050 native resolution on a nvidia 6800gs vid card through a analog port.  for wutever reason, my video settings are no longer being detected by xorg anymore after i install xorg and the nvidia driver.  my last arch linux install was fine (i had been using a standard crt at 1280x1024) and when i switched monitors it autodetected the resolution.  however, when i went to reinstall linux, it no longer autodetected and i got horrible settings.  i tried to use the mode setting under the display subsection to set my resolutiona dn still no go.  is their any better way to force it to use my preffered resolution?

thanks

Re: xorg configuration with nvidia 6800gs agp and flatron l222wt

well all is working now.... i had not ever edited resolutions using the modeline in the monitor section.... all i needed to do was enter my correct modeline settings and bango correct

as for the ftp install problem i just burned the new 2008.04rc i686 iso and like the arch linux of old it worked once more big_smile

thanks
