In the process of tweaking mine, haven't had a chance to test. Just something to note regarding the posted EDID options. According to NVIDIA's website:
I will try disabling all first and report back later with the results:
A previous post also noted several EDID rejected modes. The NVIDIA forum link seems to indicate that was cleared by specifying the modes and ignoring the EDID as we are doing here. I show the same in my Xorg logs. So the assumption is these may be gone if we just use:
Quote:Option "UseEDID" "boolean"
By default, the NVIDIA X driver makes use of a display device's EDID, when available, during construction of its mode pool. The EDID is used as a source for possible modes, for valid frequency ranges, and for collecting data on the physical dimensions of the display device for computing the DPI (see Appendix W, Dots Per Inch). However, if you wish to disable the driver's use of the EDID, you can set this option to False:
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
Note that, rather than globally disable all uses of the EDID, you can individually disable each particular use of the EDID; e.g.,
Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE"
Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"
Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
Default: True (use EDID).

Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
