I'm completely new to Linux but know the basics of command entry. Here's what I've tried:
First off, I installed my restricted driver for my GeForce 8600 GT. That was the easy part but I got stuck at 1024x768. I looked at my Xorg.0.log and saw that I was using the vesa driver instead of the nv driver.
I tried running sudo nvidia-xconfig which made an xorg.conf file, but when I restarted was cut down to 640x480. In my Xorg.0.log I noticed in there that the EDID for my monitor was failing. Weird.
Output of X.org.0.log:
