With nv my monitor was not detected, so I manually inserted horzsync/vert and got the monitor running at correct resolution. Upon switching to nvidia drivers I lost the screen resolution in the gui.
I had to manually edit under dapper and edgy but the edited xorg was always enough for both nv and nvidia. lspci -n | grep 0300 01:08.0 0300: 10de:0110 (rev b2) 02:00.0 0300: 10de:00f3 (rev a2) lspci | grep VGA 01:08.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6200] (rev a2) and Xorg.log (II) NVIDIA(1): NVIDIA GPU GeForce2 MX/MX 400 at PCI:1:8:0 (GPU-1) (--) NVIDIA(1): Memory: 32768 kBytes (--) NVIDIA(1): VideoBIOS: 03.11.01.50.23 (--) NVIDIA(1): Interlaced video modes are not supported on this GPU (--) NVIDIA(1): Connected display device(s) on GeForce2 MX/MX 400 at (--) NVIDIA(1): PCI:1:8:0: (--) NVIDIA(1): @@@ (CRT-0) (--) NVIDIA(1): @@@ (CRT-0): 350.0 MHz maximum pixel clock (II) NVIDIA(1): Assigned Display Device: CRT-0 (WW) NVIDIA(1): No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.
