I did not need it in ubuntu edgy. When I updated to feisty, if I didn't 
specify DDC false the DisplaySize was ignored. Now I have

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "KDF-E50A12U"
        Option          "DDC" "false"
        DisplaySize  325 182

        HorizSync 30-50
        VertRefresh 58-62

        Modeline "1024x768_TV"   65.00  1024 1048 1184 1344  768 771 777 
806 -hsync -vsync

        Option          "UseEdid" "false"
        Option          "DPI" "100x100"
EndSection

And it works (16:9 aspect ratio with 1024x768 output resolution to the tv)
(I think the UseEdid line is ignored by the via driver)

I use the Openchrome drivers, not nVidia.
