Title:
  nvidia-settings does not keep resolution that it is set too and
  xorg.conf is useless

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

  Hi there all.  I am on the fabulously new jaunty.  But I have a video
  problem.

  After a fresh install, I enabled the restricted nvidia drivers.  Then
  via nvidia-settings i set my resolution to 1280x1024.  This works well
  until I reboot, then ubuntu boots into some other low resolution that
  I do not know where it is getting this resolution from.

  I then tried to copy my old xorg.con from intrepid to jaunty but it
  bombs.

  I try to set the resolution via system -> preference -> display but no
  dice .. it forces me back to nvidia-settings.

  Exactly how is resolution setting handled in jaunty RC?
