Good suggestion, I will do that.

James suggested overriding the values that the card normally sets.  I 
think this will work but as I sometimes switch from my projector to my 
LCD display, this is not optimal.  It is more than setting the modes as 
you also have to tell the card to ignore the fact that it thinks the 
monitor cannot take the mode you are indicating.  Normally the card will 
back off to low resolution if it thinks the card cannot take the higher 
rate signal, which is what is happening.  With a brand new system, it 
would sure be nicer to figure out which part to send back and which part 
to buy new.

His suggestion was to use something like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Failsafe Device"
        Boardname       "vesa"
        Busid           "PCI:0:5:0"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Screen  0
        Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "True"
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
        Option          "NoLogo"        "True"
        Option          "ModeValidation" "DFP-0:
NoHorizSyncCheck,NoVirtualSizeCheck,NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
        Option          "connectedMonitor"      "DFP-0"
        Option          "CustomEDID"
"DFP-0:/etc/X11/PANASONIC-edid.bin"
EndSection

You use the EDID info for my specific television for the .bin file

I think I would need to do one for each output, TV, DFP, CRT.  Like I 
said, I think it would work but my preference is to get the system 
working as it should.

Thanks, I won't waste more time on that one.
