Wow, did I misremember that one. The method is "Xorg -configure" and must be run
as root.
I make no claim to be an expert, I just have learned not to shoot myself
in the foot.
Between your post and Tom Horsley's, I happened to think of
changing the driver -- and did, from nv to vesa. I don't now recall
exactly what all else I did, but I do remember an oddity.
At one point, I tried again to edit xorg.conf, and got a message
saying it didn't exist. I ran system-config-display instead to create one
-- and it did, with vesa instead of nv.
After all that, I can still only set the display up to 1280x1024,
not 1680x1050 (which this machine, I'm sure, did support before). But
that's within the monitor's own ability to adapt to.
What does System->admin->display say in the display tab? I find that I need to
manually set that sometimes. I think I said system->config->display the first
time, had the wrong WM in front of me.
