The latest NVidia driver should be "nvidia" not nv. Check nvidia.com again and download and get there latest driver. They have clear instructions on how to proceed, including a line regarding changing from "vesa" or "nv" to "nvidia".

I have an Apple Cinema 20" display running on windows. I tried installing RedHat Linux 8.0, got the newest drivers from NVIDIA. The screen's optimal resolution is 1680x1050 but right now, it does a stretched 1280x1024. In the XFree86Config file, the graphics card still has a driver of "vesa", chanigng it to "nv" causes the display to not work at all.

any thoughts on how I can tweak XFree86 to accept this resolution?

thanks
help greatly appreciated
