I'm using an 8800 GTX and can't get my resolution higher than 1024x768 on a 1600x1200 monitor. I am using latest drivers with no luck. Tried using older ones and same thing. Any ideas?
Usually you can force resolutions through the command line, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Ask the mint forum?
This has happened on every distro I've tried x_x

you'll probably have to add the mode to your xorg.conf then

what drivers are you using?
Most recent, 258 or something I think
no for what card, are you using proprietary or open source etc.

Sounds like it's vesa drivers.
Propitiatory 8800 GTX

Proprietary. It should give you resolutions over 1024x768.
Look through and/or post the contents of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- that'll have the details about what drivers are being used and the process of video mode selection.
