You appear to not have correct monitor information in your /root/XF86Config.new file. The server appears to think it can only do one mode: (II) NV(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync value of 65.74 kHz (II) NV(0): Monitor0: Using default vrefresh value of 60.00 Hz You should add accurate HorizSync and VertRefresh entries to your Section "Monitor". From the Montior's EDID information printed out in the log file I would guess it would be approximately like follows: HorizSync 30 - 64 VertRefresh 56 - 88 but the actual value should be in the Monitor's owner's manual.
