Help Please: Can't run 1280 x 1024 after update (Solved)

My display has changed to 1024 x 768, and my monitor is not listed in gnome display settings.  Was working fine up until only minutes ago.  Display went to sleep while I was away and when I woke it the settings were changed.

What can I do?

Thank you. Brian

Edit:
After looking around I think my xorg.conf file changed. 

When I re-run 'Xorg -configure' it returns an error stating that the number of screens detected does not match...

The current log file Xorg.0.log [1], an old log file Xorg.12.0.log [2], and the log from the configure command above Xorg.configure.log [3] can be viewed here.

The following are snippets of resolution section from [1] and [2].

Re: Help Please: Can't run 1280 x 1024 after update (Solved)

Have you tried using the nvidia drivers instead of nouveau?

Also, can you post the output of xrandr, please?

You could try:

xrandr -s 1280x1024

And see if that does anything.

With these, I'm not sure running "xrandr -s 1280x1024" will work.

I think you need to use something like:

Section "Monitor0"
    Identifier  "VGA-1"
    Modeline    "1280x1024_75.00"  138.75  1280 1368 1504 1728  1024 1027 1034 1072 -hsync +vsync
    Option      "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_75.00"
EndSection

Use the "official" modeline calculator to get the Modeline (refresh rates from the manufacturer website, I hope), restart X, and there you have it. It worked for someone once: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140496

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Re: Help Please: Can't run 1280 x 1024 after update (Solved)

@DSpider - I will try what you have suggested. 
Edit: This worked.  Thanks alot

@Ranmaru - I have been running this setup for some time, but in the past I did try nvidea drivers.  I was not happy with the results.  

$ xrandr -s 1280x1024
Size 1280x1024 not found in available modes

I am sure that before this update my monitor was listed in xorg.conf and now it is listed as unknown, so it seems to make sense that I have to change some thing there.  I'm sure the info for my monitor is available somewhere.

Thank you,

Regards,
Brian
