Resolution issues with Dell 2001FP LCD
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with a GeForce 8400 GS graphics card. I am using the proprietary Nvidia driver and still cannot attain the monitor's optimal 1600x1200 resolution. Does anyone have a solution? I recall blindly editing my xorg.conf about a year ago with little results. Has anyone else faced this situation?

Have you tried using xandr?
Here is a link to a site that explains how to use it to add display modes to your monitor.

Might also help to see if the monitor type is detected properly. might be setting it as some random generic monitor without the features that your monitor has.
