I have a Vizio 19" 720p 60Hz Class LCD HDTV, VA19L from Walmart:
http://www.walmart.com/Vizio-19-Class-LCD-HDTV/ip/10854033
I'm using a standard VGA cable [only type of port the tv / monitor has for
PC hookup] and can not seem to get my nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX
440 AGP 8x] to do a screen size of 1366x768
I did not have any luck with the opensource nv driver and so I installed
nvidia-legacy96-driver-96.43.14-x86-1 and am still unable to do it - (I'm
pretty sure that's the correct driver...)
I'm using xorg-server-1.6.3-i486 and just looks like it won't detect the
capability to do anything higher than 800x600 and I don't know how to force
it.

xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   800x600        60.0*    56.0
   640x480        60.0
   400x300        60.0     56.0
   320x240        60.0

(First time to use "xrandr", reading man file now...)

I tried a "Screen" section like this:

   1. Section "Screen"
   2.         Identifier "Screen0"
   3.         Device     "Card0"
   4.         Monitor    "Monitor0"
   5.         SubSection "Display"
   6.                 Modes "1366x768"
   7.                 Viewport 0 0
   8.                 Depth     24
   9.         EndSubSection
   10. EndSection

But that didn't seem to work.  Just not sure what to try next...  Any clues?
