Hi Imtiaz, Is 800x600 hard coded in your xorg.conf? If so, can you try commenting out the line that has the resolutions? Generally X can automatically pick up the highest supported resolution. I'm not sure about linux mint though, since i've never used it.
Also, in my experience, compiling and installing the nvidia driver from nvidia.com gave me better results. It also gives you the nvidia x server settings tool which is quite handy.

The problem I am facing is, initially the display resolution [both on liveCD and first boot] was OK, 1024x768. But after installing the proprietory driver for nVidia graphics card, my resolution switched to 800x600. And I can't change it from Administration-> Display Resolution. The highest value there is 800x600. I have read on this mailing list someone talking about modifying "xorg.conf" to solve this mess, but I can't find the mail. Can anyone help me to simultaneously use proprietory driver and run on 1024x768 screen resolution??
