Resolution broke

Bellum

For some reason my resolution dropped all of a sudden. I'm not sure when the problem started, and not sure of the cause. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I'll post my xorg.conf:

Code: 
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
	FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection

Section "Module"
	Load  "dbe"
	Load  "dri"
	Load  "dri2"
	Load  "extmod"
	Load  "glx"
	Load  "record"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
	BoardName   "NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
	BusID       "PCI:2:4:0"
  Option      "DPI"        	    "96 x 96"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     1
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     4
		Modes
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     8
		Modes      "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     15
		Modes	   "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     16
		Modes      "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes	   "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

I also get the error in .xsession-errors:

Code: 
exec: /usr/local/bin/xsm: not found

Not sure if that's relevant, however.

What do you mean by that? Please be specific.

Code: 
Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
	BoardName   "NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
	BusID       "PCI:2:4:0"
  Option      "DPI"        	    "96 x 96"
EndSection

Manually setting DPI could cause a resolution problem.

I mean that I log in today and the resolution isn't as it should be. I think it's the default (640x480?), but I'm not sure. I'll try commenting out that line.

Posting /var/log/Xorg.0.log would help show exactly what is happening. Use pastebin.com.
 
Like so?

EDIT:
Oh, tells me right here.

Code: 
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1024x768"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): 
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     "nvidia-auto-select".
(WW) NVIDIA(0):

EDIT2:
Actually, after a bit more reading, I think this is the cause of the problem.
Code: 
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device CRT-0 is invalid:
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0):     unrecognized EDID Header.

I'm not sure what changed to cause this problem, however.
