Hi,
Here's my xorg. If I manually try to change the resolution the small Dell
E175FP turns off, and can only be reactivated by going into nvidia-settings
and setting either 640x480 or 320xsomething low. Wonderinf it's a dpi issue,
as my other screen's a bit big.

Any suggestions  gratefully received.

Jim
