Marc, 
I think the DVI to VGA adapter would work in this case, as the Dual DVI cards acutally have two VGA outputs in them, It is just in a different type of connector. I run a 19" CRT off my GeForce 7800GT, at 1280x960 at 85Hz. 

I have this in my xorg.conf under the screen section and it works well. 

Options "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"

I will try 1920x1080 at 60Hz later today and let you know.
