sorry it took so long to reply didnt notice the email
also i kind of understand what that output is saying but i have no idea how to fix it i guess i have to change the minimum allowed resolution size so how do i do that

Just noticing this thread, and I'm seeing the same thing with world of warcraft, and similar xrandr output:

Screen 0: minimum 3200 x 1080, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 3200 x 1080
default connected 3200x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   3200x1080      50.0*

This may have something to do with the xorg.conf generated by the nvidia configuration tool, which does not contain any resolution information. It has the following Screen section:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "1"
    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

If I'm reading the manpage correctly (man xorg.conf) the 'Display' subsection should have one or more 'Modes' lines describing allowed screen resolutions. Nvidia doesn't generate any, and I'm not sure the directive is supported here by nvidia at all. Nvidia may have more documentation, but I don't particularly feel like going to look for it right now.

Remember, when changing the xorg.conf, you will then need to restart your X server (or the entire machine) to apply the changes.
