Hi, anyone have any hint how to get a resolution of 1440x900 on my Lenovo T61p Laptop?
Default resolution is 1680x1050.
Heres my Xorg.conf created by nvidia-xconfig:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Thu Apr 16 19:36:29 PDT 2009

Try to add this to your xorg.conf Screen section:
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1440x900 +0+0"

1) fireup up a terminal and became root
2) ran nvidia-settings
3) edited the resolution to something I cant remember but it stampled it in the xorg.conf after aI saved it
4) edited the xorg.conf and changed the resolution I could remember now to 1440x900 and saved it.
5) rebooted my laptop
6) logged on again and I have the same resolution as before, 1680x1050.
Why is it so damn hard to get this to work!?!?
If I remove the xorg.conf file generated by the nvidia-xconfig tool I end up with a resolution of 800x600 and can also choose 640x480...
Any other hits?

You should be using gksu in the terminal then you can run nvidia-settings as super user especially if you are using sudo instead of the preferred su for root.
