New kernel and nvidia driver, and multiple resolutions after edgy install

This issue is important for Kathy since she has really bad eyesight
and has gotten used to extra desktop space.
I just installed edgy for my friend Kathy and now her multiple
resolutions don't work. ie. Cntrl-Alt-+/- doesn't do anything.  The
X.org log shows it other validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "1280x1024"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "1024x768"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "800x600"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "640x480"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024

I am using the same xorg.conf that worked for her breezy setup.  How
do I fix this one?


And now that I upgraded the to the new kernel, kdm won't start at all
with that kernel.  I tried reinstalling the kernel thinking it might
help...  For the time being I changed the boot order in grub.  Any
suggestions?


Thanks,
Chuck
