Try as I might, I cannot get the screen resolution over 800x600.
I have a GeForce 6200, and eventually I'd like to get dual monitors going, unfortunately I can't even get one monitor working properly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
**EDIT
I have tried both the xf86-video-nv driver and the nvidia driver.

With the open source driver nv, an xorg.conf isn't actually needed, and everything should be autodetected. So you could try renaming your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old or something, and see how that goes.

Odysseus,
I tried removing the xorg.conf, but no change.

Well, it seems that as far as X is concerned, the highest resolution of your monitor is 800x600.
If you use nvidia-xconfig, what resolutions does it put in your xorg.conf?
Actually, it may put none. Mine has no explicit resolutions set.

I feared the same thing, xrandr outputs 800x600 as the highest, which bothers me the most. But, I have used this monitor for years at 1024x768.
nvidia-xconfig listed no explicit resolutions, I'll give the nvidia driver another go and try another monitor.

Immediately after reinstalling the nvidia drivers it works at 1024x768.
I have no idea why, but I'm content.
Thanks for your help Odysseus.
