[mythtv-users] Powerstrip modeline not working

Thanks for all your help on this Steven. I have a policy of only
installing from binary RPMs so I ended up doing "yum clean all" and
removing ALL my nvidia packages and the latest kernels, rebooting and
reinstalling them. Happy to say that I can now run 9746 with the
nvidia driver!

However... I still can't get anything better that a 800x600 resolution
on my new multi-thousand dollar TV! I've gone to a basic xorg.conf
which looks like this (sorry for long post):

Here are some errors I'm getting in Xorg.0.log:
...
(WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
...
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1366x768_60"; removing.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "800x600"
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "640x480"

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
(WW) NVIDIA(0):     from CRT-0's EDID.
...

I thought now that I'm on 9746 getting 1366x768_60 would be easy. Can
you see anything in my config that would be messing this up?
