Jaunty uses the settings in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to configure the
display resolution at Ubuntu startup. "xorg.conf" settings are written
by "nvidia-settings".
Jaunty uses the settings in "/home/username/.config/monitors.xml" to
reset the display resolution (when you log into your user). The settings
in ".config/monitors.xml" are written by "gnome-display-properties".
1. The values in ".config/monitors.xml" are not automatically
synchronized when "nvidia-settings" is used to change the display
resolution, so it is necessary to update those values by running "gnome-
display-properties" (System->Preferences->Display).
2. In my case (I have a nvidia FX-5200) "gnome-display-properties" is
not detecting correctly the "Refresh Rate" parameter, so I manually
updated the ".config/monitors.xml" file ("rate" parameter) with the
correct value.
----------------
"nvidia-settings" shows the Refresh Rate next to the "Resolution" in "X Server
Display Configuration". If this value is set to "auto", you can see the value
with "nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate".

nvidia-settings does not keep resolution that it is set too and xorg.conf is
useless
