Trouble with screen resolution in Nvidia drivers



Hi!I've got some trouble when I installed the nvidia drivers. I've got a
nvidia Geforce 6800 AGP card, and a 19 inch flatscreen monitor. The
problem is that when I install the drivers from nvidia, my screen
resolution turns from default 60 Hz to 75, which is no good. Also, the
resolution turns bad. When I modify the xconf.org - the driver module from
nvidia to nv, it goes OK. Can anyone help me? I am not able to run any 3D
modules without the nvidia drivers. Heres copy from the log files:

xconf.org:
