Thanks Dave. I have already tried the 180.44 driver. The display was marginally better than with the repository 180.29 rpms, but it was still useless for my needs.

When you compiled the 180.44 driver did you try with and without the 32 bit compatibility mode (assuming you're running x86_64) and in nvidia-settings, after pressing "detect displays", what resolutions are available? Never use sax2 with an nvidia 3d enabled driver. Another thing to check is, your current refresh rate setting may be preventing higher resolutions. Try switching outputs on your card and cycling the power on your box and display. There must be a simple solution to the problem, the most frustrating problems usually have the simplest solutions.

I see your display has a digital and an analogue input, I assume your gfxcard only has digital outputs but you should have a DVI to analogue vga adapter. Try using another output. Regards Dave P
Dave, I beat you to the answer by a few minutes, but 10 out of 10 for picking this up. After my last post I went back and and looked at the hardware probe report, which showed the monitor was being incorrectly detected as: Unique ID: rdCR.EY_qmtb9YY0 Hardware Class: monitor Model: "Generic Monitor" Vendor: "Generic" Device: "Monitor" Resolution: 1024x768@76Hz Driver Info #0: Max. Resolution: 1024x768 Vert. Sync Range: 50-90 Hz Hor. Sync Range: 31-61 kHz When I replaced the 7300LE card with the 9600GT, I saw no reason to use the analogue adaptor. It never occurred to me that a digital connection would affect hardware detection, but it most certainly does. With an analogue connection the monitor is accurately detected and the nVidia driver automatically kicks in, with full 1680x1050 resolution. While this seems to fly in the face of logic and reason, I don't care, so long as I can get out of Windows, back to my favourite distro. Thanks again Dave P, also to Clayton, Tony Alfrey, Dave Rankin, Philipp Thomas and Rajko M. for offering suggestions to try and help get me back on track.
