Stuck at low Resolution (NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE)

[RealG187]

On the "family PC" installed Ubuntu 8.04 today and am at 800x600, even with the restricted driver. It was like that as a live CD but I thought I could fix it once I install...

Older versions of Ubuntu got better resolutions on this machine...

I tried
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-org

and got:

mpg@Sherpat3md:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080925125247
mpg@Sherpat3md:~$

xrandr gives this only:

mpg@Sherpat3md:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 60.0* 56.0
640x480 60.0
400x300 60.0 56.0
320x240 60.0
mpg@Sherpat3md:~$

I started a topic on Ubuntu forums a while back:

try sudo nvidia-xconfig instead. this should do the trick.

mpg@Sherpat3md:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
[sudo] password for mpg:
sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
mpg@Sherpat3md:~$

Still nothing

I'm going to attempt this trick when I get home tonight. Saturday morning I woke up to a booted up system that couldn't resolve graphics higher than 640x480 for no reason. I hadn't done a thing with my system outside of normal everyday use. But I hope this works.
