A little help with nvidia drivers.

[combat_medical]

I have read many FAQ's and walkthrough's before coming to this point. It seems, to my newbie knowledge, that I have my drivers installed correctly. Or atleast xorg.conf shows that its picking up my video card.

My question is though, why can't I change my resolution to anything higher than 1024x768? Any help would be very appreciated.

Add the modes you want manually to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".

Alright, thanks! If I end up messing it up, can I run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from recovery mode to reset the values?

Make a backup of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. If you mess up, you can restore that file from a backup or rerun "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".
