Thanks.

But when i do that, I see the screen resolution drop-down is
greyed-out on Normal.

My screen is connected with a VGA cable - would a DVI cable make a
difference?

My hardware (according to X11) is:

(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 1700 (G84GL) at PCI:8:0:0 (GPU-0)

My xorg.conf looks like this:

# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
