Re: debian-6.0.7-amd64 how to set resolution and refresh for free NVIDIA X drivers?

First test the display resolution you want to have as described by

I run it at 1600x1200 at 85 Hz, or thereabouts.
If it works you can use my xorg.conf as a basis to write yours:
I tried my hand at writing the simplest xorg.conf I could -- every time
the screen turned black and I was effectively locked out. (Apparently,
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace no longer kills X servers, nor does any of the other
keystrokes I tried; nor could I switch to another console. I don't have
or want sshd, so push the reset button...)
Then I tried starting X with an empty xorg.conf:
root@a64x23800p:~# touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.empty
root@a64x23800p:~# X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.empty
Same result. Please see xorg.conf.empty-typescript and
xorg.conf.empty-Xorg.0.log at URL, below.
When I boot the machine without any xorg.conf, X comes up at 1024x768 @
60 Hz. Please see no.xorg.conf-Xorg.0.log, at URL below.

A "diff" of the two log files follows.
If X pukes on an empty xorg.conf, I don't know how I'm going to provide
my monitor and screen settings to X.
