Where did you find the "UseEdidFreqs" part? I don't find any reference
to it in 'man xorg.conf'.

Switching to a different resolution does work, but it seems the 8XXX
drivers have some problem with being manually restricted to a given
VertRefresh frequency.  Going back to the 7676 driver works for all
resolutions with the same xorg.conf file. This is really irritating with
a monitor that is default resolution of 1600x1200x60 but X cant seem to
use it at that resolution with the latest releases of the video card
manufacturer's drivers. 

BTW, I have the same problem on my MX400 adapter as I do on this FX 5500
adapter.

I have posted to the Nvidia site on this.
