Hi Mohammad... I guess you don't need current... First of all - did you
try to start X without config at all?? Most probably you just have to
specify the right BUSID in xorg.conf.... I'm using similar configuration
- framebuffer mode+nvidia cards+Xorg... It works with both nv and
  vesa(I'm not sure about vesa... I do not remember exactly) and wsfb
drivers! But when using your own xorg.conf you should specify slightly
different BusID's with different drivers...) Can you send your
Xorg.0.log, then running X --configure/ startx with config( pls also attach
your video device section of config)/ startx w/out config / Xorg
-logverbose 4 /)??
I've had 1680x1050 resolution in both console and X(using nv driver -
it's better... but before I've had to use wsfb, because I couldn't
understand for a long time, how to make this works "right"... finnaly
i've found running X with wsfb driver had too many flaws...and figured
out about this part of configuration...)
So I think I can help you, if you will still have problems, after the
above actions...)
