Debian - NVidia - Resolution

Hi, I'm new on Debian. I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 04.r3 amd64 (kernel 2.6.18-6-amd64). I have a GeForce 6100 on board and a LG L1920P Monitor (LCD).

I've installed the nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-kg2.run) downloaded from Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies and I've used nvidia-xconfig to config the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

My problem is with the 1280x1024 resolution.

When I use the generic drive (nv) with this resolution it runs well. But when I use the nvidia driver (nvidia) I can't use it. The screen is black with a blue line on the top. I move the mouse to the top and I can see a part of it. I press Ctrl + Alt + + or - to change the resolution and I found the problem is the resolution because with 1024x768, 800x600 ... it runs correctly.

I try with resolutions such as 1280x960, 1024x768... and I can see it fails when I use ...x1024 resolution.

Can someone help me?

Here is my xorg.conf file:

Thanks!

As root run :

# apt-get install xresprobe

then run

# ddcprobe | less

Then read the output and put your in

monitorrange: X-X, X-X

Also a probably easier way to do it would be to :

 # apt-get install nvidia-settings

Then run

 # nvidia-settings
