Hardy Heron AMD64 NVIDIA (6 Series) 22'' Widescreen LG Resolution Problem

[Dani Lupion]

Hi!

I recently made a clean Hardy Heron AMD64 install. Is I said, I'm
using a NVIDIA 6 Series Card and a 22'' Widescreen LG L225WS Screen.
The issue here is that I cannot manage to set the native screen
resolution which is 1680x1050. The default xorg.conf file runs at
800x600 max resolution, I thought installing nvidia restricted driver
would fix it, so I installed it from the repositories, the funny thing
is that it actually made it worse, getting 640x480 max (but I got
compiz to work!).

I tried several things, first in nvidia-settings X Server Display
Configuration i tried changing Panning to my desired resolution in
advanced mode (the resolution combobox only showed 640x480 and
320x240), this didn't work.

I also tried displayconfig-gtk. I could chose the right resolution
here and even test it but pushing "keep this configuration" button
changed it back (and no change to xorg.conf was made).

I have to say that everything worked flawlessly in Gutsy Gibbon AMD64.

Here is my original xorg.conf file (resulted max 800x600 resolution)

Here's another xorg.conf file that i tried (resulted max 640x480 resolution)

I would be really thankful if anyone gave me some guidelines.
