Screen Resolution Stuck at 640x480 Nvidia 7000 series


Hello all...I'm rather new to Kubuntu and I am having a problem with the screen resolution. It seems I only have 2 choices for the resolution but about a month ago I could go all the way to 1024x768. I checked my xorg.conf file and it seems the drivers that are installed didn't show up on there. Here is the file. Thanks a lot

---Start of xorg.conf---
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder3) Thu Feb 14 18:20:37 PST 2008

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

You can more than likely fix this by using the NVidia X configuration utility. Go to your KMenu and in the system menu you should be able to find it (it has a green icon). Select the Screen Configuration line item/tab and use the tools there to set the maximum screen resolution to your desired res.

If everything fails, you can go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download a new version of the driver and reinstall it. You'll only need to execute a command and follow its instructions.
