X server config problem

[Jaytee]

Hi All,
When my machine boots it starts at a resolution of: 640x480/60mhz mid boot it briefly goes to a 720x400/70mhz then returns to 640x480/60mhz prior to my password screen it goes very briefly to 1360x786/60mhz then dumps to 1024x786/60mhz after password is accepted I get to 1236x786/60mhz.
I have tried in vain to make the setting of 1360x786/60mhz stick by using both the Nvidia settings tool and by editing the X11 file:
Here is a copy of my current Xorg file.

I wonder if I need to add "_60" in the last option after 1360x768....

Tiny nudge bump...

Why do you have TwinView enabled if you only have one monitor?

Additionally, what distro are you using and what version of the nVidia driver did you install?

[Jaytee]

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with the latst Nvidia driver. I am away from my machine at the moment so can't give detail.
I do not recall setting up the "twin view" option.

[Jaytee]

I commented out the twin view options with no positive outcome.
My drivers are: Nvidia driver version 295.49 for Linux-x86_64
I cannot find any reference to this setting... 1024x786/60mhz. So I wonder what is causing it to action?

[Jaytee]

I just changed the driver to the "reccommended" one (295.40) but no difference I still cannot get the setting to stick......

[Jaytee]

I appear to have partly solved the problem. The machine still boots in the manner I described but the final resoltion is the one I require.
At the time I was hacking around in the xorg file an Xserver update came through so I am unsure of which was responsible for the change...........
