	Hi,
I cant seem to get my new nvidia card to dispaly the correct resolution. 
Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see these entries. My max resolution 
is "1600x1050" but it is not letting me use it. 

(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1600x1050"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "1024x768"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "800x600"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "640x480"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1024 x 768

I configured Xorg using nvidia-settings.
