cant get more than 800x600 ;(

[Szymon Marciniak]

Hi!
I'm using ubuntu 8.04
I dont know why but i cant get resolution higher than 800x600
I have geforce 4 and in win xp i can get 1280x1024. But i want only 1024x768
First, i tried all i found od the net:
 - drivers installed by envyng
 - drivers installed by System > Administration > Drivers
 - drivers installed by .run file downloaded from nvidia site
 - manual changes in xorg.conf
 - changing xorg.conf by "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
 - nvidia-settings

The result is: 800x600, you cant imagine how ugly internet looks in
this resolution.

i've noticed three werid things:

1. nvidia-settings always tells me "You do not appear to be using the
NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run
`nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
even if i do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" just before nvidia-settings

2. If i change lines in xorg.conf, for example "800x600" to
"1024x768", save it, and restart x server, In the file xorg.conf will
be 1024x768 but i still cant change resolution

Where else are saved modes for graphic card?

3. X server always runs in safe graphic mode, no matter what drivers
are installed and what is in xorg.conf

So, what can i do?
