'Glad to hear it - does that mean the display, touchpad and mouse are all working?

So how do I change the right resolution?
What resolution is the display using at the moment?

I do not have my XF86Config-4 set up to use more than one resolution as I never bothered to find out how you could swap between resolutions. You could always just state one resolution in your XF86Config-4 file, eg:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go 5200]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
  SubSection "Display"
  Depth 24
  Modes "1024x768"
  EndSubSection
EndSection

Display is using at the moment 1024x768 but I want 1400x900. Mouse and display are working but touchpad isn't, because it's broken.

Edit: I tried to change the resolution, but it only changed color depth... ???

I assume you edited [Section "Screen"] and changed [Modes "1024x768"] to [Modes "1400x900"] and it didn't work.

Without having a nvidia card to check, all I can suggest is:

1. Check that the nvidia XF86 driver can support more than 1024x768 - it's perhaps not a coincidence that your original XF86Config-4 file did not contain a resolution higher than this.
2. Check your nvidia card has enough memory to support 1400x900.
3. Check your display can support 1400x900.
