I have a Dell Latitude C810 with a Nvidia GForce2Go. To get my display to work properly I had to add the mode lines that I mentioned before and I always up my resolution to 1600x1200, the display seems happier running ar 1600x1200. Here are the mode lines: ModeLine "1400x1050" 108.0 1400 1448 1462 1688 1050 1050 1053 1066 ModeLine "1280x1024" 108.0 1400 1448 1462 1688 1050 1050 1053 1066 ModeLine "1024x768" 65.0 1024 1048 1065 1344 768 770 776 806 they need to be added to the "Monitor" part of the xconfig which can be found at /etc/X11/XF86Config.
