I have learned a long time ago not to allow NVidia to setup my display with
their utilities. They muck-up more then they fix. They have the windows
mentality of over Analise everything and throw in the kitchen sink to be on
the safe side. More is better (Bloat Everything).
I use NVidia here and this is the best working xconfig I have found. I can
jump through all the resolutions with CTRL-ALT-(+/-) keys. And my screen on
reboot is 1600x1200. I don't understand all those OPTION Statements and not
even sure they are needed, see above.
