Which version of 64Studio are you using?
Newer versions of Xorg really do not use the xorg.conf file (the
reality is slightly more complicated but 99% of the time we should not
need to touch the xorg.conf file anymore).
If you are using the latest version of 64Studio (the Beta one that is
based on Ubuntu), xrandr (or one of the GUI front ends, like grandr or
the Gnome display control panel applet) is the preferred method of
setting the screen resolution and colour depth.

Xorg.conf 800 x 600
HI Guys
I now have it sorted.
Not sure how!!
I removed my xorg.conf and put in one I had kept from my G mail account!!
I also tried the envy thing but it didn't seem to load the driver.
Thanks for all your help
Cheers
Bob

Is it using the nvidia driver (lsmod |grep nv)?

Unfortunately this depends a lot on the monitor. There are quite a few
mid-range monitors that simply are not recognised by the 'new' xorg,
older versions that actually need xorg.conf don't seem to have a
problem.
Go figure ???

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

For the mot part, you can pass all the same options to xrandr

*Hi AllMy monitor is an HP w2007v 20"Which I don't think is that old.I*couldn't*get xrandr to change anything.
I don't understand why the 'older' xorg.conf seemed to*eventually*work.
I had input vert and hysnyc on the one that was generated on install.
Maybe when I used envyng it*actually*found the NV driver, as this didn't seem to be on the system at install.
Talking of the nvidia-glxWhen I used synaptic to install this it failed to install then I could not un-install it.
This then stopped*synaptic*from working.
After a day online I eventually found I had to do*mkdir /usr/lib32
this then allowed synaptic to remove the offending file.Is this an error with synaptic?
Thanks for all the help looking and sounding good!!

It depends on the version of X, the state of the drivers, and the
hardware itself.

There are actually three different drivers; envyng, nv, and nvidia
(glx). It does not really matter but I am curious which driver is
actually being used.

Could be a bug in that package as well.
If I have a need for the GLX driver, I have had far better luck in
getting the driver from nvidia.com. The install process is a bit more
manual but it does work. Lately I have been avoiding both of them.
Intel, for all their problems, have given me far less grief than
either nVidia or ATI/AMD. With the radeonhd driver and newer ATI/AMD
devices, I have hope that things will get better in the future.

Seems to be the NV driver now*

When I try this it fails on the*Kernel*which is an RT one on here,I assume that we cant build the driver against that
Cheers and thanks for the help
