Also that part is not available anymore in dpkg-reconfigure. So if you have problems with the default resolution it's even harder now to fix. At least I don't know of a reasonably easy way to do it. It worked well with dpkg-reclonfigure but that doesn't work anymore. The sanest way I know of is copying that part from an old or example xorg.conf and adjust it. It was easier back then when the stuff was still in the xorg.conf and just needed adjustment. I'd try nv drivers and edit the xorg.conf. For me the I think most relevant part looks like this: Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" $ EndSubSection EndSection You might need to adjust some other stuff as well, but as I said, try the old one. IMHO "improved" xorg configuring is more a mess now than it was before.
