I had a question. I thought that Hal did the keyboard and the mouse and xorg defined the screens and monitors. Right now my xorg.conf is
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Wed May 27 01:58:49 PD
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusId "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Option "SLI" "auto"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
As you can see I do not specify the resolutions. So now my top resolution I can get is 1024x768. (A big improvement from earlier today which was 680X460)
I know my monitor can handle 1280x1024 but when I change my screen section to include it nothing happens.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Option "SLI" "auto"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
If xorg is not controlling the resolution then what is (hal?) and what configuration file do I need to change?

Have you tried to put the apropriate modelines in your Xorg.conf?
You could generate them in the console with the command "gtf x-Resolution y-Resolution frequency"
For example
gtf 1280 1024 75
Put the output in xorg.conf under your Monitor Section.
You also have to change your Screen Section like this(put in your wanted resolution you specified for the modelines):
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024@75" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
Maybe this helps.
