I have exactly the same problem. Was running 1680x1050 fine on Gutsy.
But now its stuck on 800x600. Cannot increase it.

Have tried so many different options after googling to try & get it to
work to no avail.

My card in a Nvidia GeForce4 (old I know).

Have tried the new Screen Resolution, displayconfig-gtk, nvidia-xconfig, manually editing old /etc/X11/xorg.conf etc etc.
     
The restricted drivers are enabled fine (using nvidia-glx). Have been
using Ubuntu since the early days, but this one has me stumped!

Am using a 22" Acer AL2216W LCD screen.
