Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i got nvidia 6150se nforce 430 i install it's drivers from the hardware drivers but the max resolution it gets its 1360x768 which are not enough what should i do to fix it?
You really should post back with more information, particularly about which distribution you are using and whether you installed the Nvidia driver from the distro's repositories or from the Nvidia installer. You will most likely have to edit your "xorg.conf" file, but the details are not the same for every linux.
Read Chapter 6 and 7 from the Nvidia README as a guide.

i use ubuntu 9.10 and all i did is this system hardware drivers search i found the drivers install it and then open the nvidia drivers and put it in the max ressolution
I had the same problem for the longest time except my max resolution was 640x400. My computer could not properly detect my monitor to set it up properly. I had to manually enter the specs in the xorg file.
HorizSync and VertRefresh were the cause of my problem. They were set too low, so they limited my resolution. You will need to try to find these rates. Your manufacturer should have them in the manual and the manual should be available online. Mine was not so I look at models with similar maximum resolutions and made a guess. It worked.

Rep:
In reference to the OP, you want to hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a terminal. Login and Stop the X server with: /sbin/init 3. Enter X -configure, and follow the on screen instructions. Test ~/xorg.conf.new. If you see an x, and you can move it around using the mouse, the new file works. In the Monitor section of xorg.conf.new type:
Copy ~/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If there is an existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, move it to /etc/X11/org.conf.bak, before you copy the new file to it. Restart X with: /sbin/init 5. Now you should have more choice of possible screen resolutions.

I'll let you meet my sister if you can give me 1360x768.
