Available here http://www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/~jonesc/nvidia-bug-report.log Note I'm quite happy just setting the freqs. by hand in my xorg.conf file, so no real problem here, but it would be interesting to know for sure where the error lies.
Thanks. There are a few problems here. First the EDID violates the specification standard: (II) NVIDIA(0): First detailed timing not preferred mode in violation of standard! The the first detailed timing listed in the EDID should always be the preferred native mode. Your CRT is not doing that. You've commented out the entire Monitor section, so the driver is going back to internal defaults for hsync & vrefresh, which gives you: (II) NVIDIA(0): <default monitor>: Using default hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz However, the EDID for your display specifies that 1600x1200 needs an 85Hz refresh rate. However, this means that you need a 107.1Khz hsync: (II) NVIDIA(0): #0: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 85 vid: 22953 Since the internal defaults only go as high as 37.90, the mode fails to validate: (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1600x1200" (hsync out of range) So basically, if you uncomment the Monitor section, and specify much broader ranges, you'll likely fix the problem.
