[sclug] Gnomes screen resolution

[Luke Hinds]

Hi *,

I can't get the resolution on Gnome to increase beyond 1024x768 - This
is using Gnomes own 'screen resolution' application. I don't confess
to be much of an expect on X, and after google bashing for a while i
figured i would ask you guys and girls. I would at least like to get
up to 1280x800.

Here are the vitals:

Nvidia Geforce MX/MX440 with the official nvidia drivers and
nvidia-kernel-source.

Debian / Testing 2.6.8-2-686

Here are the relevant parts of my XF86Config-4:
