The newer Nvidia drivers have a tighter spec on speeds. They also now need
mode lines for, as I recall, resolutions above 1280x1024.
Also, as your monitor is one of those that has a flakey EDID (from reading your
log),
any edid setting will get ignored.
The drivers do work, in most cases[1]. I'm running at 1920x1200 on 8174-r1.
But
that is with a mode line. I still get occasional system hangs on my 2P amd64
system
while playing ut2004. But I think that may have to do with threads and audio.

[1] An SGI FP1600SW with an Nvidia 6xxx card at 1600x1024 is a case where none
of the drivers work, even with mode lines.
