	As root.

	I finally got this working.  I had to go and find the exact specs for
the Daewoo 707B monitor then manually enter them into the xorg.config
file.  I also needed to add the actual modes in the screen section.  Now
I'm running at 1280x1024 and have lots of desktop room to fill.  :-)

	My config file looks like this -

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# keyboard added by rhpxl
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbModel" "pc105"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	ModelName    "Daewoo 707B"
	HorizSync    30.0 - 69.0
	VertRefresh  50.0 - 120.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

"Huh?!?" - Me, two seconds after being told not to lean on that big red
button and one second before the Haylon system activated.
