I'm not entirely sure about the modelines.... Have you tried running  
the nvidia-settings program - it has many configuration items  
including overscan.  I has having a similar problems with overscan so  
I ran the nvidia-settings program which made a config file in the  
mythtv home directory - to load the settings you can run "nvidia- 
settings --load-config-only".  There is a section in Jarod Wilson's  
howto regarding the nVidia driver install:

I also used the nvidia-settings program to make my xorg.conf file  
(remember to back up your old one just incase).
