hust run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
That should remake your xorg.conf file and should add all screen
resolutions that you can use. first you need to make sure you are using
the nvidia drivers as it might be as simple to use hardware drivers from
the system menu. I have attached my xorg.conf after using the above
command on this box using the 5200 card.
