startx shouls work.
When I boot into run level 3, I can use startx and it brings me up at
the right resolution.
My nvidia card is a slightly older model though (GeForce 6800 XT) and
I'm not running the latest driver.

the desired resolution should be 1280x1020 (19 inch). Your X config needs a modeline for that resolution.
Thanks, Mark, but the mode line was there. Apparently there are two
problems (I finally got a clue in the xorg log file):
1. The R913J (not R943J) digital mode seems not to be compatible with
the Nvidia drivers for some reason.
2. I was using startx to test as I was used to doing in the old days.
The log file mentioned lost contact with gdm so I entered "gdm"
instead of "startx" and got the desired resolution!
Now I have another problem: somehow in my putzing around the monitor
has taken on a blue hue both in the startup vga mode and the full-up
Nvidia X mode. Any ideas about that?
I haven't done a hard reboot yet and hope that clears it up--but I'm
putting that off until tomorrow morning.
