>> Hey, I remember something about NVidia and the 1680x1050 displays.  There is a pair of options that you have to set in xorg.conf to get it to work with that resolution on the digital connector.  One of them was something like NoMaxClock or something.  I'm not home so I can't remember what it was but I saw a brief mention of it someplace and bludgeoned it with a stick until it worked.

Wow, another ref to the secret. It's just a little scary how succinctly
you guys remember that.

I will give your options a shot and let you know, Thanks! I'm going to
want to NOT use the IgnoreDisplayDevices as I use a dual monitor config
in my x that puts my "RightOf" to my TV independently for use with my
Myth ;). I will keep ya posted.
