And considering using the real nvidia driver is preferred, why wouldn't I want to use it?
Plus this resolution was available on Windows with NVIDIA so I'm a little puzzled why I can't get this to work still.
I had tried it prior to using the NVIDIA driver but 1440x900 wasn't even listed at that time and had a pain of a time getting it manually added. Back then there were other options now it only seems to list 1920x1200 for some reason.
