I'm trying to make linux work with this monitor and a
GeForce4.  I'm having a difficult time finding hard
info on the exact resolution limitations of this
monitor.  Some sites say 1600x1200, the Ebay seller
said 2000x1200.  In either case i'm trying to get any
resolution that will "fill out" the 16:10 width.  I
can't seem to get X to go past 1600x1200. 
1600x1200 runs fine but it is not "wide".  I've tried
2000x1200 and 1920x1200 and i get a message similar to
the one below in the xfree86 log.

(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode
"1920x1200"(no mode of this name)

Does anyone know what this means?  My card does
1920x1200 for sure, is the limitation the monitor? the
linux Nvidia driver?  Any clues?  I've never dealt with
any aspect rations other than 3:4 so if i'm missing
something let me know.

Thanks,
/KRM
