I didn't actually have to do all those steps. I tried to install the 185.18.31 driver on my GeForce 8700M GT (Dell XPS M1730) mobile computer so many times, but it never worked, kept saying that the versions for the API and the kernel weren't compatible... Anyway, I extracted the installer and ran it from its folder. One thing I noticed this time, is I didn't uninstall the drivers (the same version I was installing again) because the nvidia installer said something about "you want to install 185.18.31, but you have 185.18.31 already installed so we will uninstall it for you first..." and I was like "OK......". I got some errors during the build/compile process. I think that the magic step was doing the nvidia-xconfig (which amazingly NO OTHER forum posting I've found until yours mentioned that...). I didn't even end up changing the source (probably because there was no log file.., not sure why it didn't go all the way thru). I just started up X (gdm) and tried the Display options and hallelujah 1920x1200 my sweet native resolution was there! Side note, after logging off/then on to test the resolution again, it wouldn't stay. I found that the settings wouldn't "stick" in the nVidia settings, but they would if I used the native Display Manager applet. Thanks a million!!! You are wonderful!
