<br>with this before proceeding.</blockquote><div><br>Well yes, you're probably right, I think I'm just having difficulty with it. I've specified 1680x1050 in xorg.conf, I'm using the latest NVidia drivers, but I get
<br><br>(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050"
<br>(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1680x1050"; removing.<br><br></div>in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, so X just defaults to 1600x1000. When I use the nvidia-settings program, the monitor is detected as a 1600x1000 monitor, and it won't let me go choose any higher resolution than that.

<br>Meanwhile, I rebooted the computer (to do something else!), and the aspect ratios look fine now - I have no idea what has changed!<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Jonny<br>
