Great, I assume that you are now using nvidia-glx-173 and your
monitor is running at the desired resolution.-:)) I'm curious though. 
Did you actually try my recommendation, nvidia-glx-177 I believe, and
it not worked for you?  Usually, the newest drivers tend to work best
having had some bug fixes and more cards covered. This knowledge would 
be useful to the list. BTW, I googled for nvidia-glx-177 and found the
the 7200 GS is also a covered card so it would be interesting to know if
if worked or not or if you tried it.  Happy, your problem is now fixed
although you had to use the proprietary drivers as Karl so adamantly proclaimed.-:))
