There is a bug with the current nvidia drivers which causes this.  There
is a post in launchpad that sets the no edit modes and all of that which
you will have to have set.

 Option     "UseEdid" "FALSE"
        Option          "UseEdidFreqs"  "False"
        Option  "ModeValidation" "NoEdidMode"

Hopefully this helps.
