I'm at work now but I wrestled with this for several weeks. I used
Powerstrip to find out the timings my plasma would accept and verified
by setting my Windows box to that resolution. I then used specific
commands which I do not recall at the moment but are outlined in the
nVidia documentation to ignore edid from X and to run at the specific
resolution I sent it via the modeline generated by Powerstrip. I'll try
and dig up my xorg.conf file later as you'll need to add them to your
device section.
