[clug] Has anyone got a recent nVidia card working multi-resolution?

[Duncan Roe]

Hi,

I have a new card with the nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1) chipset.
But I can only get it to work with one screen resolution :( and not one I particularly want)

The monitor worked fine with all modes in xorg.conf when I had an ATI Radeon - I
can no longer use that because new mobo doesn't have an AGP slot.

can anyone hit me with a clue bat?

Cheers ... Duncan.
