Zacon Ion,

First, have you tried using the Nvidia Settings utility to change your resolution?

   gksudo nvidia-settings

You can also save to Xorg.conf using this utility.

Best of luck,
George

If you run:

gksudo nvidia-settings

You can setup the display and click "save to X config file"

Zacon Ion (promix) said : #3

and so I do see how it is configured x server, but after you reboot and put in 1027x678 resolution

aritra (fifa10foru4ever) said : #4

First,

gksudo xconfig

Then,
gksudo nvidia-settings

Now change resolution and save the file.
And Reboot.

Can you help with this problem?
