I use a video card Nvidia Geforce 210.
According to it's specs it can run :Maximum Digital Resolution 2560×1600 and Maximum VGA Resolution 2048×1536.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.96.run driver instaled and activated and the maximum resolution I get is 1360×768 that is to narrow and 1152×864 that is to wide on both of my monitors (used as expanded):
-
Optiquest Q201wb 1680 x 1050
-
Iiyama prolite e2200ws 1680 × 1050
Can you give me an advice on how to make my resolution 1680×1050 permanent(not only until first reboot)?
Whith nouveau display driver it's the same thing as is with Nvidia driver 304.131
PS. I saw [this similar post]Cant get full resolution on Second monitor with nvdia geforce 210 on 14.04) but I don't think it's the same problem.

I resolved my problem by seeking on the internet the horizontal and vertical refresh rate for my monitors:
1.Optiquest Q201wb 1680 x 1050
Horizontal refresh rate 30-80 Hz
Vertical refresh rate 55-75 Hz
2.Iiyama prolite e2200ws 1680 × 1050
Horizontal refresh rate 31-82 Hz
Vertical refresh rate 56-75 Hz
Then by using Torben Gundtofte-Bruun's tutorial from here How do I set the correct monitor resolution with Nvidia drivers for a monitor that does not send EDID? I've edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with
and I entered the values 31-80 Hz for
and 56-75 Hz for
in the
part. The values from there were very different from the above.
After that , from Displays I could select the 16:10 ratio 1680x1050 resolution. I'm verry happy now. Thank you Torben Gundtofte-Bruun.
