I would first make sure that your nvidia kernel module can be loaded:
modprobe -v nvidia
modprobe -v nvidia
[nothing returned]
lsmod | grep nvidia
lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 7086148 24
agpgart 28776 1 nvidia
i2c_core 19828 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2
If that is OK, (re)start X and run
grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
to find out which driver is used. If you see the Xorg nvidia module is
loaded, check "glxinfo | grep direct" and "glxgears" (package
mesa-utils) to see if direct rendering is working.
glxinfo & glxgears were not found.
If your Xorg keeps using the "nv" driver even though nvidia is
available, put
Driver "nvidia"

Did this. Still 600x480 and no choices to change resolutions.
Thanks,
