Thanks, That works while in your desktop, you can change to the the
Resolution you want.
BUT!! ,if I restart computer then the settings in xorg.conf controls the
resolution, and no matter what settings you put in xorg.conf, some thing
is changing xorg.conf and the resolution goes back up to a higher
resolution setting.
I think the System Settings > Display is for the Nouveau, and I can't
use that driver on my GeForce 8400GS or Geforce 6150LE when it goes
into a sleep mode for a half hour, then I wake it up, the mouse has
disappeared, and I have to restart computer to get mouse working again.
So I'm stuck using the "nvidia" driver and xorg.conf.
