I was wondering where he got (or calculated the modeline from?) That was calculated by "gtf" which comes with XFree86. I think both should work identically with the "nv" driver. That driver ignores alot of the modeline particulars in the case of DVI since those timings aren't really for the monitor, but for the flat panel scaler which is too particular about timings to be accepting random ones specified on the modeline. Note, the "nv" driver requires that the system booted to any flat panel that you wish to use. If the console didn't come up on it, the "nv" driver can't use it. That's because it relies on the bios to have handled some of the timing difficulties for it.
