to find out which driver is used. If you see the Xorg nvidia module is
loaded, check "glxinfo | grep direct" and "glxgears" (package
mesa-utils) to see if direct rendering is working.
glxinfo & glxgears were not found.
Install the mesa-utils package, then use these commands to see if direct
rendering is working.
rattler:/etc/X11# glxinfo | grep direct
Error: unable to open display
rattler:/etc/X11# glxgears
Error: couldn't open display (null)
If your Xorg keeps using the "nv" driver even though nvidia is
available, put
Driver "nvidia"
into the (otherwise pretty empty) "Device" section of your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X.
Did this. Still 600x480 and no choices to change resolutions.
Check the output of
grep -E '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
to see if there are any errors or warnings. Post the output here if
there is anything.
rattler:/etc/X11# grep -E '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.

Maybe my monitor is too old. NEC MultiSync P1150.
Try nvidia-settings or maybe xrandr (I don't know if the nvidia driver
supports this fully) for setting the resolution. Check the nvidia
documentation, or try the old fashioned approach in the "Screen" section
of xorg.conf. (I have not used nvidia cards in almost two years, so my
knowledge is unfortunately not current anymore.)
