to get it up to 1024x768, I installed the "nvidia offical" drivers
off of the Nvidia website (not off of apt, is that bad?). This still
just allowed me to go to 800x600, and actually looks like it lowered
the resoultion. What have I done wrong/what do I need to do?

Did you set the driver in /etc/X11/XF86config-4 to be nvidia rather
than nv after installing the driver? Took me a while to figure that
one out. I believe the nvdia driver taints the kernel, whether or not
you consider this bad, is up to you I guess.

I did set the driver to nvidia from nv, but I don't really care what I
use as long as I can hop up the resolution.
