Yet another X11 resolution problem

Hello

I can't get any display resolution higher than 640x480. I'm using nVidia binary driver and Arch64.

The funny thing is, that after the initial configuration with nvidia-xconfig everything was fine, and suddenly refused to be after todays boot.

I've found those lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that may (or may not) be somehow related to the problem:

(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device CRT-0 is invalid: EDID
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0):     version 1 size exceeds EDID buffer size, or checksum for
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0):     EDID failed.

And my xorg.conf if someone's interested:
