Following up on my own email: I've built XFree86 4.6.99.27 from CVS
and get the same behaviour.

Log when using the vesa driver:
ftp://stix.id.au/pub/tmp/XFree86-4.6.99.27-vesa.log

Log when using the nv driver:
ftp://stix.id.au/pub/tmp/XFree86-4.6.99.27-nv.log

Photo of screen running 1680x1050 with the nv driver:
ftp://stix.id.au/pub/tmp/1680x1050.jpg

The config used for the nv driver:
ftp://stix.id.au/pub/tmp/XF86Config

An additional data point is that when running with the nv driver
and the 1680x1050 modeline, the LCD monitor reports 1280x1024@56Hz,
so something is very screwy.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
