Silly question, but have you tried running nvidia-settings (as root), set up you monitors and then saving the configuration?
Offline
Yes, i already ran all the default nvidia settings and tried the GUI config. The problem is with some level of the driver not letting me display at the correct resolution. The GUI settings also show that same list of resolutions for the DVI output

Which Nvidia graphics card are you using? Also, are you using a DVI to D-SUB (VGA) adapter? I remember having the exact same problem when using this adapter.
