Hi,

I'm running:
Ubuntu 8.10
NVidia driver 180.29
XFX 9500 GT
Pioneer Elite PRO-151FD Plasma Display (1080p)
Connection from 9500GT to TV is DVI to HDMI

Whenever I restart X, it insists on starting up X in 1024x768 mode. But, if I go to nvidia-settings, I have no problem at all selecting 1920x1080. So, if it's capable of that mode, how do I get it to *start* X in that mode??

In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I have:
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0"

One (failed) suggestion was to reverse the position of the auto-select and 1920x1080 in the line above. That doesn't appear to have any effect.

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Here's the complete /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
