Video cards

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, I have 6200 Series:

lspci -v output is :

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6200 A-LE (rev a1) 
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
         Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. Unknown device a295
         Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 20
         Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
         Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
         Memory at e5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
         [virtual] Expansion ROM at e6000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
         Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
         Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0

I am running it at 1680 x 1050 via the Digital Interface.

Are you saying I am not suppose to be able to do that?

Anyway, here is my xorg.conf ...
