If you add the options I specified in my first post, you shouldn't have
any issues with the bounding box. 

Here's what I have, specific to nVIDIA and the display in my
configuration (take note that I am NOT defining the modelines, the
nVIDIA driver creates them based on the EDID info):

Section "Device"
	Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
	Driver "nvidia"
	Option "RenderAccel"           "1"
	Option "NoLogo"                "1"
	Option "UseEdidFreqs"          "true"
	Option "UseEDID"               "true"
	Option "RandRRotation"         "1"
	Option "HWCursor"              "0"
	Option "ModeValidation"        "NoVertRefreshCheck"
	Option "UseEdidDpi"            "FALSE"
	Option "ConnectedMonitor"      "DFP"  # I'm using a CRT over DVI
	Option "UseDisplayDevice"      "DFP"  # I'm using a CRT over DVI
Screen  0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
	DisplaySize     487 274 # to specify 100dpi @ 1080i
EndSection

        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"

        SubSection "Display"
