[ubuntu-in] persistent configuration of nvidia graphics card on hardy 8.04

Hi,

My graphics settings will not remain persistent. I need to set it to
1366x768, but the closest I am allowed is 1280x768, but even that does
not remain so after logout or reboot.

I have an ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 motherboard which has the NVIDIA GeForce
7025 graphics chipset onboard, Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.2 is installed, 2 GB
RAM is installed. I have enabled the non-free graphics drivers. A Dell
19 inch widescreen LCD monitor is connected to this motherboard. The
monitor says that optimum resolution is 1366x768, but I do not have that
option in the nvidia-settings control panel. nvidia-settings and
nvidia-xconfig are installed. The version of the driver is 169.12. I am
downloading the current version from nvidia.com and intend to install it
to see if that will make any difference.

I downloaded the driver, and I have a chicken and egg situation it
seems. I can not install the driver because X server is running, I can
stop X server if I boot to a root shell from the grub menu, but that is
runlevel 1 and the driver installer is complaining about that. What to
do?

Any suggestions?
