I have the same issue here, with a different card (integrated GeForce 6100 GPU, part of a nForce 430 based motherboard) and from a clean x86_64 install of Feisty Beta, updated up to 20070325. No matter what you try to set resolution higher than [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz, it is ignored by the X server using the propietary nVIDIA drivers.
Sounds like this problem could be the same reported here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=88469 I have yet to try this fix, hope someone affected by this problem has some more time than me, or then (k)ubuntu updates the binary nVIDIA driver to the latest version, that maybe fixed the problem. >From the X startup logs you can see than the module "ddc" is doing nothing, >but when running the "nv" based X server it does its job and gets modes and >resolutions from the monitor and card.
