Well. Ex....cellent!
Thanks for all your tips, which helped me focus on my XF86Config-4.
I found out that the suggested resolutions in the SubSection "Display" under Section "Screen" were a bit messy. Even though my wanted resolution were there, it apparently wasn't set in the right order.
If the "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" had solved this in the first place I wouldn't had learned all this stuff about XF86Config-4 ;o)
This is said with smile. I don't know if there is supposed to exist a perfect automatic config tool.
Regards SÃren
PS. Now I'm getting my first Debian ever to work better and better. It's a keeper.

Thanks for all the answers. None worked. A part of my XF86Config-4
listed below, where I have tried different settings. The settings for HorizSync and VertRefresh are taken from my screen manual.
I will keep on trying. The funny thing is that some tool named
xf86conf or something, actually can display it self in the right resolution but it writes to the wrong config file and it disconnects my mouse and keyboard.
A kingdom for my XF86Config-4 from my previous deleted linux
installation :o)
Thanks again. I will keep you posted if I figure it out. Still open for suggestions.
Section "Device" Identifier "Standard Video Kort" Driver "nvidia" Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" EndSection
Section "Monitor" Identifier "L1715S" HorizSync 30-83 VertRefresh 56-75 #Option "DPMS" EndSection
Why is DPMS commented out? On most modern monitors, DPMS will query the monitor for the correct refresh rates.
Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Standard Video Kort" Monitor "L1715S" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display"

Try adding following line in "Device" section:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Also make sure there are valid "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" entries in "Monitor" section
