how do you guys know that your Xwindows is set at 1080p?


From the X log:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080
...
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1080"

Nope, that only says your resolution. It doesn't say if it's interlaced or
progressive. When you see like 480i, 480p 720p, 1080i or 1080p, it's
actually says how a movie or a video was encoded. It's a format. So how do you know that your video card is set to progressive. Or I read somewhere
that video cards have always been progressive. Anyone?

I'm also running mine at 1920x1080 via 6600GT and you guys are right, it's
awesome!

Well, then I know it's progressive because my modeline is not an
interlaced modeline...  Oh, and the fact that my TV won't accept 1080i
over the VGA port.  ;)

In my case, I have a modeline like so:

ModeLine "1920x1080p" 148.352 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125

And in my xorg logs:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device DFP-0:
(**) NVIDIA(0):      Mode "1920x1080p": 148.4 MHz, 67.4 kHz, 59.9 Hz
...
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080
...
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1080p"

1080p is rather nice for desktop-like use on this thing too...
