Problems setting display resolution

I have a Dell XPS M170 laptop with a GForce GO 7800 card. Using the latest nvidia linux drive with SUSE 10. No matter what I set the desktop resolution to it always comes up as 1900x1200. I don't even have 1900x1200 modeline in my xorg.conf file. obviously, KDE is reading something else other than xorg.conf to get the display setting. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

its afaik impossible to set a resolution not in xorg.conf, so it HAS to be there... really...

RE: Problems setting display resolution

I'd recommend moving to Suse 10.1 - I had some video problems with 10.0 that were cleared up with 10.1. Make certain that there is no mention anywhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf of the 1900x1200 resolution. It must be hiding in there somewhere. If not, maybe check $HOME/.xinitrc or $HOME/.xsession, if either of those files exist. (they may not) What X server are you using?? X.org 6.8.2, or 6.9??
