Last friday I bought a new 24" monitor. There was some trouble getting it to work with the resolution 1920×1200 in ubuntu and nvidia drivers. So I thought I would post some of my settings in case anyone else have the same trouble. Just to clarify some of the setting. I have an old syncmaster 213T also in a dual screen setup. I'm runnung Ubuntu. I'm not sure if all these settings is really nessesary but at least it works!

Hi,
I recently bought the same monitor and I can’t use the 1920×1200 resolution in ubuntu(also an nvidia card), I tried your settings but they don’t work for me. Any suggestions where I can find more info? I also read somewhere that single link DVI doesn’t support 1920×1200.
