(the "modes" lines will wrap ... but all the resolutions should be all 
on one line, separated by spaces and inside quotes)

Also, if "DefaultDepth 16" does not work, try "DefaultDepth 24"

You say that you bought a digital lead ... meaning I guess that you are 
using a different PORT on your video card and monitor.  It is possible 
that he standard "nv" driver does not support that port on your video 
card and that you will need to instead download the proprietary drivers 
from nvidia's website to get that port to function.  Regardless of which 
driver and cable you use, the resolution/freq of the screen is going to 
be the same ... why not just use the old cable :D

Thanks,
