Close but no cigar.
Log clearly shows that NVIDIA driver is loaded.  But resolution appears 
to be different than what I select in XF86Config and circles are still 
not round.

Here is what I think is the relevant XF86Config part:


Section "Monitor"
   Option       "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry"
   DisplaySize  430 270
   HorizSync    32-84
   Identifier   "Monitor[0]"
   ModelName    "AL2016W"
   Option       "DPMS"
   VendorName   "ACER"
   VertRefresh  56-75
   UseModes     "Modes[0]"
EndSection


Section "Modes"
   Identifier   "Modes[0]"
EndSection


Section "Screen"
   DefaultDepth 24
   SubSection "Display"
     Depth      24
     Modes      "1680x1050" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubsection



Log says

(II) NVIDIA(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) NVIDIA(0): clock: 146.2 MHz   Image Size:  433 x 271 mm
(II) NVIDIA(0): h_active: 1680  h_sync: 1784  h_sync_end 1960 
h_blank_end 2240 h_border: 0
(II) NVIDIA(0): v_active: 1050  v_sync: 1053  v_sync_end 1059 
v_blanking: 1089 v_border: 0
(II) NVIDIA(0): Ranges: V min: 56  V max: 77 Hz, H min: 31  H max: 84 
kHz, PixClock max 170 MHz
.
.


But then further on it says

.
.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (no mode of this name)
.
.
.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1152x864"


So Lonni or anyone, can you suggest what I might be missing?
Thanks!
